I hate dealing with the dealership but for clips its not a big deal, i think i paid $3 a piece and bought quite a few of them because my jeep is attracted to trees like a magnet. They just snap back in, no big deal at all

I'm just going to take it to the dealership in the morning. Its not that I don't have the clips... the clips are still attached to the body. I just don't know how to snap the fender back onto the clips. I tried a couple different things and ended up sratching some plastic so I'm just going to have someone at the dealership do it.

You have to take the fender completely off and then snap clips on. PLEASE don't go to dealer for this lol

Go to autozone but the 5 dollar panel removal tool it looks like a miniature pry bet with a handle and the fenders pop right off go to clips and fasteners dot com and get these clips the part numbers are in the picture it's like 9 buck for 80 fender clips or something like that. Before I lifted mine my 35s busted my fenders off on the reg. Please don't give jeep any more of your money spend that money making yours better than everyone else's lol. good luck

Hang in there. You can do it yourself. As previously stated, remove the complete fender and reattach. Just use a little patience. You can use making tape and tape off the area you may scratch and remove the tape after that. I have to do mine when it warms up just a touch more here.
Good luck

The dealership charged me $100 for this and the ONLY reason I agreed is that I had a LONG list of warranty work I requested and they were so helpful with that that I almost felt like I owed it to them to pay for the fender reattachment. That being said, I think a set of fender clips from the dealer was $25
