Default Bushwacker flat flares

I put these on about a month ago and at first they were flawless. Since its been getting hotter outside i noticed some of the flares, mainly 1 had been pulling away from the body, its not gonig to fall off, its just that the rubber part is pulling away. Bushwacker said they would replace the whole fender, but im afraid its going to do it again. Has any one else had this problem?

I thought maybe some wider rubber pieces would work? Anything is appreciated thanks!

they look good and are very sturdy, like i said they still on very firmly its just the rubber piece is what is pulling away by about a quarter inch, not a huge deal just gets in your head and makes you mad lol the good thing is bushwacker is going to send me the materials to fix it no questions asked so that is good, also you cant beat a liftime warranty
