I've read a bunch of different ways to do it in my search. The two ways seem to be using a rubber hammer and pounding it in, or using a wood bat and just rolling the car back and forth to get the lip rolled in. I need to get the fenders tucked and I'm looking to use the wooden bat idea. So how exactly do you do it? Can someone put up some pretty detailed instructions for me? Thanks.

Fast, Cheap or Reliable. Pick two and live with it.

Try searching on this site because if i remember right there was a thread about rolling fenders and someone even had a pic of a fender rolling tool that attached to the lugs w/ an articulating arm to roll the fender.

Don't know if it will help w/ what you need .....sorry can't remember the name of the person who posted the pic either.....anyway...

Good luck.

It's not cheap, but maybe you can rent it to all of your friends.

I used tin snips and cut the lip every inch or so, then pounded it out. Works really well.
