Anyone else get the Rcx fender flares and have wind flap from the front flares?

I just got mine back from the paint shop. I’ll be installing them later this week. I will let you know if I experience any wind flap. I sure hope not!

Those look good bud! My pic posted above was of the non painted flares. Rcx sent me another set bc of the wind flap. Had those painted and then they started flapping. . Somehow the rear clips came off on passenger side and that flare ended up cracking... not having a good run w these so far. They do look good tho. Still waiting for some further resolution w the peeps at Rcx. I actually drilled holes and used some screws on the back flares to keep them in place. Would do that to the fronts but there’s no place to screw into at where the flares flap. Anyway..... hope yours work out better than mine. Lol

Update regarding the wind flap.... couple weeks ago I was whining to the guys at rcx about it and they finally told me they would send me another install kit and that I should remove the flares, remove the rubber seal and install the new rubber piece. Well I was kind of a smartalec and basically said I’m pretty sure I installed it right the first time and that I don’t understand the physics of how that will make a difference just by changing the rubber piece and reinstalling the clips. Well..... turns out they changed the rubber piece. It now has 3m tape to attach the seal to the flare and another strip of 3m tape to attach the flare to the whole fender. That should solve the flapping problem for sure. Just wish the dude would have told me they changed it up so I wouldn’t have been such a punk. Lol. Anyway I’ll keep you posted as to the difference it makes.

Htown T1, I hope yours have the double sided tape.

This is good info....my install kit does have the double sided tape. Hopefully this is the fix because these are the only flares in the market that I like. I appreciate the update!

Good deal... I’m putting the rcx 6” lift on it tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be able to get around to swapping the seal out on the flares this weekend

316hepster, sorry for the delay. I finally got around to installing them earlier today. Love the way they look. I will not be driving it much this week but I will be going on a 10 day trip next weekend. So I’ll be putting about 1k miles on it. So I will get back to you and let you know how they work out for me. Hopefully they don’t end up on the side of the highway. Haha!
