Fender flares, stripped bolts. Any quick removal ideas?

I painted my flares and as ive found out on other threads the bolts that hold it on 80% or so broke off. I can just put them back on with regular old hardware but has anyone ever come up with a quick way to take them off?

ie, flares on for street, pop them off on the weekends for some trail fun?

I was thinking perhaps some fairly strong spring clamps?

Just an idea at any rate.

drill out the stripped bolts, replace with standard hardware and possibly wingnuts if you wanna remove them :rolleyes:

Not sure what year you have but on my 88 i made new brackets using 1" steel stock. Just cut a lenght for each missing bracket, drilled for bolts and added some stainless bolts and nuts. Seemed to work great.

i use those plastic fasteners that hold on the inner fender wells. they hold pretty good and are a breeze to take off.
