Front fender, flares, rubbing on lower bumper

[new raptor]

I have a 2021 ford raptor and had some paint chipping off the drivers fender flare. They took it off and the paint was rubbing off under the flare. They took the other one off to and same thing. So now I have to get a touch up or new paint. They said they never have seen this? I call bs.

You say its chipping the flare but then say under the flare. Can you take a picture not so close so we can see what we are looking at?

Looks like the flare is scratching the body based off the paint colors. Regardless, that ain’t right.

Looks like the trim peice is slightly sticking out creating contact with the flare.

Kinda looks like someone took a screwdriver to pry the flare off.

When you pull the flares off their is a big flat spot that touches the paint. i have taken mine off a few times. I don't see how that happens even with heavy offroading. The only other thing I could see happening is some kind of debree getting in the gap and then rubbing. Like piece of tree limb or something. Very strange. I will say it's amazing how tight those plastic clips keep the flare to the body. 12 clips per flare

This appears to be more of a Gen3 thing I've noticed as I looked at them on lots. I had a Gen2 which had remarkably good fit and finish, and the Gen3 I have no is also really good, but I looked at several others on lots where it was clear there were some funny clearance issues in front end trim. My R should be here in a few weeks and hoping it's as good as the current Gen3 I have or I'm going to ask to have any issues fixed before taking delivery.

Definitely agree that doesn't look right, and unfortunately may be something more than uncommon.
