Fender Flare loose
 
Hi,
New here. I went to my car this morning and saw my fender flare loose. Not sure if someone was trying to pry it open or it became loose. Does anyone how to fix this?
Thanks!

Judging from how the rest of the plastic trim appears clipped in place, it seems like it was either pulled out or something got wedged in for the plastic to "remember" that outward shape.

Anyhow, check right underneath the deformed portion if there's a clip or a hole. If the clip is present, just push it back in. If there's a hole but no clip, you'll need to provde it. You can buy a small pack of the appropriate clip either online or at your local dealer.

If there is NO clip and/or hole, I can't imagine what caused it do deform like that. You can always replace the entire trim piece - It's just held in place by about 2 screws and a few clips. Part number is TK48-51-W30D. Found some on eBay for about $150.

Good luck.
