Yep, it's the flimsy little piece of fender liner liner that extends down (front inside). Evidently, high speed driving pushes it back then a sharp turn will have it rubbing on the tire. Returns to its original position after a bit

No big.

Had the same problem drivers side. The whole fenderwell liner turned out to be loose. Hacksawed that little hanging down piece off.

?

So what's the solution to this problem? Do we need to get a new plastic push in thingy to hold the liner better? maybe that's why we are limited to 100 mph... Anything over that and the truck starts to pull itself apart!:ROFLJest:

I have the same problem, but i don't have a hole for the snap lock in this section of fender liner. was thinking about breaking out the drill. I have a bag of the snap locks.

Man, this reminds me of highschool. Got the little pokey thing, but can't find a hole to put it in.:bawl:

Waiting for the rest of mine to fall off, saves me the trouble of pulling those stupid ass pushpins out and then I'll deal with it. Maybe some solid metal liners, home fabbed of course.

I was actually worried that I might be wasting my time...I was hoping there was a replacement part that had been improved, but it sounds like no. Thanks for the heads up.

Whoa... zip ties are permanent fixes, lol...

Just keep a few in the bottom of the driver side door.

Mine blew out during a windy drive home from work. A strong cross wind, and the Damn thing was a rubbin'
