I purchased the ZL1 rock guards when the car was new, but within a month the adhesive that was factory installed started separating away from the rock guard itself. The side of the tape attached to the fender stayed attached. Customer service at ZL1 sent me to Autozone to buy two sided tape to fix it…
My ZL1’s did the same thing. I replaced the double backed tape with 3M VHB and that still pulled away after a period of time. Been planning to replace. Likely to go with Rokblox.

I ended up covering the rear fenders and rockers in paint protection film, and got rid of the rock guards.

I hope you have better luck with them then I did. First, they did not prevent sand and small pebbles from making there way onto the rocker trim. Second, the binders that clip onto the fender loosened over time and one simple fell off while I was driving. I have since gone to the ZL-1 option and no sand, solid installation and more secure.
I use them in combo with these

mine still fit tight, but based on the two replies may have to try one of the other options at some point.

Ordered the Auto Fanatic rock guards last Thursday, got notification of shipment on Friday, and they arrived today. Very fast shipping
I'll report back once I install them
