After lifting and putting 35x12.50 Nitto Trail Grapplers on my 2012 JKU, I have noticed that my rear fender flares are really noisy and loose. I have checked some other news on the lot and they are tight, but checked some used ones and they appear to be loose and noisy as well.
I'm considering removing the stock flares and placing either foam tape or double sides tape behind to east or stop the rattle. Anyone else encounter this and if so what was your solution. I have checked all the plastic rivets and push pins and they are all tight. I called the dealer and their response was it was a jeep and not a Cadillac! I was so pissed to their response and was told their wasn't anything they could do about it either.

 

Ha! I'd be pissed too. I just went and checked mine and sure enough the LS is loose. Guess that explains the clunking sound I randomly hear on mine. Been looking at the doors, and all suspension components I installed with no explanation of that irritating light clunk I hear. All the more reason to move to the Bushwacker flares sooner than later.

 

Well I pulled flares today myself and I'm going to use 3M double sided tape all along where the flare mounts to body panel that should resolve the noise issue I've had to do this on other models to fix this same kind of noise. Also decided to remove rear license plate bracket was also making some noise and noticed that it appears it has been rubbing the body so much that is has actually rubbed threw the paint in 3 places. Guess I will have to show this off to the dealer and see what kind of response I get.

 

inner wheelwell area and put a black painted nut and bolt in place to keep it from moving around thers so many dam movable parts back there u can spend days trackin noises lol mine was that and I also had a( clunk)
