Default Broken Lower Right Front Fender Fix????

The bottom rear connnection tab for my right frornt fender has broken and the bottom of the fender is about 1/2 inch low. I've seen a lot of C5's like this so I know someone has the fix. I haven't jacked up the car yet to take a look but thought I'd ask. It doesn't look like too big a deal to fix.

Anyone done this???

I had the same problem on mine, hit some roadkill at night and had no chance at avoiding it I ended up getting a washer and temp fixing it until i can get another fender and save up the money for another paint job.

There is no visible damage just the little tab broken off. Probably on the alignment machine. I'm hoping I can just drill and screw it back up.

I would like to see a report on that once you get them on.

We are talking about the front fenders just behind the front wheel?

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. SAM99 told me about them I just couldn't remember who he said had them.

Thanks again.

Yes, just behind the front wheel.
