I need to know what I can do about my lower front fender panel behind my front wheels, due to someone prior to me getting the car. Is there something I can buy to clamp those body panels under my vehicle. Any help would be greatly appriciated

To adjust & hold that fender panel "in" closer to the car, there is a screw on the lower bottom, just as it meets the rocker panel (7 mm wrench). There is also a screw in the inside of the pannel up high in the fender towards the door (7 mm wrench). To get to this particular screw , you have to remove the wheel and then the square panel (blk w/approx 8 screws (7 mm wrench)). This is where the PCM is located. You will then be able to see the screw mentioned. Hope this is of help and good luck.

Loosen the screw just under the fender, push the fender in and tighten.

i think he is referring to the "fender access panel". i bought a new one because some road debris put a hole in mine. you can get them for like 30 bucks from gene culley (gmpartshouse.com).

What I meant to clearly say was before I purchased the car it had been jacked up improperly what seems to be several times which made this area where there is a screw on the lower bottom, just as it meets the rocker panel (7 mm wrench. Well because of damage prior to purchase these areas of the panel that the screw secures to under rocker panels are gone. I hope this clears up what I meant to say
