Those of you that installed fender welting, how much did you need? The stuff I'm looking at comes in 25-ft rolls, which logically seems like enough but you can never be sure. Didn't want to order double if I can avoid it.

25 feet is plenty.

2020 JT Rubi. 2006 Liberty. 2003 Ram 2500 CTD, and a couple of Hogs.
Mine keeps working itself out. I might just remove it.

The one I was looking at has a 1.5" flange to get clamped down between the fender and the....fender. But it was only 3/16". Now I'm thinking of making my own from some vinyl and maybe some 5/16" tubing.

The fact it is working itself out is the reason you need it - with out it you will just be grinding grit between the body and the fenders. And you can get some pretty big grit in that gap! Make sure you poke it in so it is mostly in.

Are you guys loosening the fenders and stuffing it in, then clamping them back down? That's what I like about the flanged welting.

Just jamming it in. I used a trim tool and the edge of a hotel key card that I cut up to get into the tight spots around the hood latches.
