Fender flare gap

Anyone experience a fender flare pulling away from the body?

I haven't, but I have removed one of mine. They are held on with plastic clips. Looks like either you have a broken clip, or the clip partly popped out.

Like @Oldfart said, looks like a clip is loose or broken, not normal, bro!

Give it a whack with the heel of your hand. That might seat the clip.

Are your pinch welds flattened? I just did mine this weekend and my flares do that because of it.

If you are still in warranty, have your dealer look at it.

My front driver had a small gap and a factory finish issue and it was replaced under warranty. I also had one replaced by the dealer (at my cost) after a fender (flare) bender and after it was replaced, it exhibited behavior similar to what you are showing. Not sure if they ordered a whole new flare or if they just replaced clips but it was all done at no charge to me.

I’m going to get clips to have on hand in the event one breaks or is broken, and then pull the flare myself to see what’s going on.

Had the same problem. I just replaced the broken clip.

Yes, it was one broken clip, replaced it.

Part number for the clips?
