2015 Silverado requires modifications

I bought these for my 2015 Silverado LT 4x4. The description says "Compatible with Chevy Silverado 1500 (2014-2018 & 2019 1500LD), 2500 3500 (2015-2018)". According to Revane, they should also fit my truck. They do... sort of. The fact is that they need to be modified. First. Flaps can be installed without removing the wheels if you have the right tools. Turn the wheel on the front panel fully towards the side you are working on. This gives you enough room to work when using a T-15 Torx ratchet. If you're not using an articulated cordless screwdriver or a small drill, you'll need an angle adapter with a Torx T-15 bit. On the front valves, the holes that the bolts go through do not match the mounting holes on the truck. . The valves need to be drilled a second hole about 1/16" higher than the existing ones to align them. The rear flaps are a bit more difficult to remove. The torx bit on the ratchet doesn't fit between the bar and the screws. A rectangular one Power adapter helps to remove the external screw, however, it is best to use a right angle power tool to loosen the internal screw and then unscrew the rest by hand.On the rear flaps, the screw holes available line up perfectly with the flaps, but the tape definitely wears does nothing to attach the top to the fender edge. You will need to drill additional holes in the top and edge of the fender to install the screws provided (/64" I believe) and secured with a socket by hand. I have carefully tighten the screw to avoid breaking it, this will help ensure the screw is securely fastened and unlikely to fall out due to vehicle vibration. However, I now have a hole in each wing that I'm concerned about corrosion. I need to coat the inside of the bolt with some kind of sealant to prevent this from happening. Even if it's not perfect. The flaps have a decent fit and look nice when in place. They're not as snug as I'd like, but the flaws probably aren't very noticeable unless you look closely. Installation is not as easy as the instructions say due to the offset holes on the front panels. This additional screw attachment for the tailgates could have been better thought out. It might be better to use bolts and nuts with washers.

Pros
  • Guaranteed fit and easy installation: Our fenders are specifically designed for a nice molded factory look
Cons
  • Some difficulty
