Default Installing Bushwackers in the cold
I have some bushwackers on the way, so would it be a problem to install them while its cold out. Do they need to be somewhat flexable for a proper install. I see there is some adhesive along the edge which may have a problem sticking. What do you think ?

I would wait. I did mine in 70 degree weather and leaving them in the sun helped ease the tension on them when installing.

I wouldnt wait. and I didn't wait. I installed the hood guard, the tailgate protector and the corner guards from Bushwacker in the past 2 weeks... 20 degrees F... no problems at all! (yet) lol

The question that never got asked is what from Bushwacker are you waiting to install?
