Lately, my driver's side front fender feels really loose and squeaks and rattles. The problem is at the rear near the bottom. Is there an bolt somewhere to tighten them? I couldn't see any bolts that low and it's too freakin cold to be outside messing with it.

The fender or the flare?

According to the manual, The flare is attached to a support underneath with rivets, then that support/flare assembly is attached to the fender with clips of some sort. Then the fender is bolted to the body.

I would take it back to the dealer and let them do it.

However, this is what the manual shows

Pop the clips and pull the flare assembly out (disconnecting the wiring harness... somewhere...):


Take out the rivets to seperate the flare/support assembly (although i dunno why you would want to):


Remove the splash sheild:


Unbolt the fender:

Both my front fender assemblies are loose at the rear bottom. I can't figure out how you can tighten them. I walked around the dealership shaking them the other day and all of them were the same way.

It is just the fender flare (plastic) but still annoying. I guess I will have to take it back to the dealer since it should be warranty work. I just thought if it was a loose bolt I could tighten it and save a trip. I think it may be missing a rivet because the passenger's side is much tighter.

Mine too I just figured I would manufacture a bracket of some sort to stiffen it up.
