Another good product to use is the plastic used on shop equipment, like table saws, etc. They are a very hared plastic that allows the pieces of material to slide easily without catching or marring the service. My friend has it all over his shop on many of his tools, it's great and would be perfect for this. You could do aluminum or stainless and cover with a thin layer of the plastic. That would look clean.

That really is a good idea, and I considered it in polished aluminum. However, my GT Factory kit has fine-thread adjustable lower limit stops (which wasn't originally adjusted properly by my installer). A quick removal of the fender solved this problem, and now the door closes perfectly when it's lowered completely.
I still think your post should be added to the C5 Tech Tips section, it's obvious you went through the extra trouble needed to make your post 100% clear and helpful
