Default headlight Bezel Issues

I recently had my headlight bar replaced and now I am at the point of reinstalling. Operation of the lights is great however the bezels are rubbing on the plastic flap that protects the headlights when they are parked. Can anybody provide me with adjustment procedure or an idea of why this is happening?


Thanks in advance

Hi m,
What part of the bezel is hitting the 'flaps'?
Are the flaps on the right side? The is a right and left.
There is just a tiny bit of adjustment on the 3 screws.... is the 'flap' moved all the way forward?
Are the bezels mounted correctly?
Is the mounting screw at the inner side of each grill the right length? Too long a screw will push the 'flap' backwards.
I'm out!
Regards,
Alan
