Wheel fender loose
Well after taking her off road for the first time yesterday, I returned home to find that the front drivers fender has come loose. It looks like 3 clips that secure it have come out....I am finding it nearly impossible to clip it back in though. Pretty tight and awkward. Anyone have this happen yet or have suggestions?

loose also
My driver's side rear wheel fender is also a little loose. I'm still stock and have been off a few times, but nothing to cause a fender to come loose. Next time I'm at the dealer I'm going to have them look it.

I just replaced my rear fender on the passenger side. There are plastic clips that hold the fender into the body, and there are plastic "rivets" that secure the outer edge to the inner plastic wheel well. Stop by your local body shop and see if they have any of the plastic rivets. They require a rivet gun to fasten into place. My dealer put the rivets in for free after I replaced the side fender myself.
Thanks,
Glen

Is there a trick to removing the plastic clips from the body? It's just the outer "flare" part that is scratched and needs to be replaced.
