Hey all..


I recently pulled my right fender off to pop some dents out. The dents were taken out and I fitted the fender back on. The allignment now seems to be around 2 mm's off of what it should be. The door still opens and closes without rubbing. I used the left side to compare and the top of the fender is closer to the door than the bottom part of that same fender. Could the metal fender mounts be bent? If so, is it as easy as unbending them? Thanks for any replies!

The fender has adjustment, don't sweat it. Loosen up all the bolts and start at the bottom of the fender,the one by the rocker panel. Set that lower gap first , then tighten, then work your way up the door, tighten the one on the hinge pillar then work your way to the ones inside the hood. Start at the one nearest your windshield and work your way forward toward your lights. Set your gap with a stir stick with some masking tape around it so you don't scratch your paint , when you have it set where your want, tighten the bolt.

Thanks man I appreciate it. So what you saying is I dont have to take off the fender? All I have to do is loosen all of the bolts on the fender..... There are screws near the headlight, do I need to loosen them too?


Thanks again!
