05 ranger edge

my name is mike and i was planning on taking off the factory fender flares on my ranger. but needed to know what is underneath them. or if the body is painted. also when i run my a/c or fan, a really loud rattling noise appears. it sounds like its right behind the pedals. can anyone help??? thanks

Welcome Mike, behind your flares you will see holes and paint. As far as the fan noise goes, I'm sure you're still under warranty - I'd let the dealer have a look.

Should be. Remove one and see. I believe all holes will be in the lip below the actual fender though.

What do you mean? If the metal itself is flared? I'd think all the fenders are common, but I'm not positive.

Mike, there should be holes actually in the fender itself, thats the way it is on my 01. The flares have "pegs" that go into the holes.
