Rolling Front Arches
#1
Now that my cab is in the weeds it scrapes the arches going over any bump in the road. I think im going to roll the arches. I assume the plastic inner wings need to come out? Do i need a heat gun, block of wood and a hammer? And will i need to paint the arches?

I have a pro body shop arch roller if you want to borrow it for a very small fee.

You do need to remove the liners and heat does help but there is still a very good chance youll crack your paint. usually youll only crack it just inside the edge so id just hammerite over the inner edge if you do to prevent rust.

Can you trim the liners and put them back in?

yep, I tend to trim the lip off the liner and use the rolled arch to pin it back

Lovely, thanks for offering your pro kit, but i think i will stick with a hammer.

Trimming the lip will loose some of the strength in the wing would you not be better bending it back up?

Bending it back is what arch rolling is Smile

I thought they wanted to cut the lip on the wing itself instead of rolling it lol

Nope trimming the arch liner so you can still use it Smile
