Default Inner fender help?!?!

I recently put on my smittybilt xrc fender flares, i love them and they look great but despite my best efforts i couldnt get the factory liners to properly go back on, even with cutting to fit. They just wouldnt properly secure so that they wouldnt flap in the wind. Im wondering if anyone out there has these flares and has found liners or something that will work. I just dont like the way it looks up front with everything exposed and am worried about all the components while im wheeling. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance!

Rugged ridge makes inner fender liners to work with aftermarket fenders.

I got pretty creative with my factory liners when I trimmed my stock fenders. Trimmed and heated to fold them. Prolly too late to do that with yours if you already cut them.

Thanks guys for the tips, its definitely too late for my liners haha, I gave em hell but they won that battle. Ill check out those rugged ridge liners and see how they would work, I also heard about full metal liners but they are probably way more than ill ever need.

If your liner is still long enough you can drill a hole through the liner and body and use a few of the Christmas tree plugs to keep it snug.

The metalcloak inner fenders are made for the metalcloak flat fender for a bolt on application. However with some fabrication and modification they can be made to fit.
