Anybody in hte las vegas area have a fender rolling tool? everybodys telling me to use a bat. and i have to admit. i used it for a little bit...but i dind't like the results, luckily i didn't crack any paint. anwyasy

does anybody have it? ill gladly pay money to use it........as long as i don't have to chop my damn leg off.

 

or know where to get one/ rent one?

 

what is it ur trying to do and for what are u trying to do it for?

 

does autozone have anything that they rent out? they let you "borrow" tools, but i don't know if that is one of them. you may want to look into having a body shop do it or get someone to hold a block on the exterior while someone hits the inner fender. just hitting with a bat and nothing on the outside will dent and miss shape the fender.

i would guess he is trying to roll his fender.

 

hence the name fender rolling tool?


=| anyways. i don't hit it with a bat. roll the fender with the bat

 

sorry im just trying to understand what exactly ur trying to make ur car look like....

fender rolling is to roll the lil part that sticks out in the fender so you dont or to help prevent rubbing. it takes the fender from this _| to something like this \| hope that helps

i guess nobody has the tool. or apparetnly even knows what it is

i guess ill do it alonee

 

I would think that you would have to seek out a body shop for any form of defined fender rolling tool. Autozone does have a loan-a-tool program, but it consists of tools relating to engine work and automotive repair such as pully puller, steering wheel puller, brake bleeder, ect.

But if all else fails, you still have the bat!

 

i tried autozone. ia sked them and the poeple there looked at me like i was crazy. some guy even proceeded to ask me why i got new wheels if i knew they would rub.


why hte hell would i do that? obviously i ddin't know they would rub.

damnit.

anyways..what about cutting it? no? yes?

 

please do not cut into your tC unless you have extensive body work knowledge.

 

its a tccccccc


and i was iffy about cutting it as well =/ freaks me out


i think ill jut buy a heat gun. and baseballbat that thing more

 

the reason u cant rent it is becuase it really isnt the smallest thing.. the fender rolling "tool" hooks up to the huband i think it uses hydrolics and some kinda special concave roller

 

damn im ____ outta luck then

 

Hey, did you roll your fenders yet?
I just got my rims on Tuesday and I might need to roll mine. gotta see if it's the fender or just the plastic in the wheel well that's rubbing first. but I did some searching and found this:
http://www.rollyourfender.com/
only $50 to rent the tool plus a $250 deposit that you get back. It even comes with the heat gun.
I live in Vegas too so we could have a fender rolling party!!!

Anyway, let me know if you did it already cause I'd like to know how you did it and how the result looks.

 

Here's the company that actually makes the tool they are renting out.

company has a ton of usefull items and specialty tools.

 

i have same problem too, but i live here in a place where no body knows/has that tool and i will be looking dumb asking for that one in bodyshops all they know about rubbing issues is cutting the fender, and i dont wanna DIY coz messing up could make you spend hundreds more for body repair.. and for the front by the way, how do you do the rolling, i think its more on the plastic which is rubbing...

 

nope, never got it fixed...i tried to do it with a bat for a little, but i couldn't get it all the way so i stopped..i still have to get that fixed. no solution thusfar.
