Fender Liner
I've been getting a rubbing sound from the drivers front on hard cornering. Upon inspection I've discovered that the inner liner has a pucker in it. There is a molded bump toward the top front that fits over a metal seam. This is where the liner has puckered and it is bulged by a couple of inches. You can see where the tire is rubbing it and beginning to wear through it.
I tried pushing it up but it just pops back. Is there a trick to re positioning the liner? My worry is that crud, salt etc. will get behind it and rust out the area. Last edited by SVX_MY_BABY; 05-02-2009 at 01:32 PM. |

Re: Fender Liner
The liner is supposed to go behind the rubber moulding around the fender lip.

Re: Fender Liner
It is behind the molding. It's the side closest to the engine that has this V shaped bulge similar to a folded tent card. It runs about 5 inches.

Re: Fender Liner
I would remove the thing and see exactly what the story is.
Applying a heat gun should allow you to get it shaped back good enough and hold in that position till it cools it should stay there. Just a thought... Keith |
