Hi Julian - it's me...your TX friend to whom you sent the wiper gear.
Unfortunately it is the former - that is, the flares have been completely integrated into the body - with new ones, wouldn't i have the same issue - that is, not only getting down to the rivets, but then popping them off and installing the new ones??
i think stock GTS flares are fiberglass - so presumably you tape of but for maybe a 3" [??] section and put some airplane stripper or the like - scrape all the junk off, prime and paint?? - thanks, stephen
