Default Lower front fender gap

Hi Guys,

Searched and couldn't find the right search terms nor any relevant information.

Does anyone else have an issue with the lower front fender pulling away from where it meets the door panel? There appears to be a 1'' gap between the bottom of the panel and the body...

It would need a strong adhesive if so... any help is appreciated!

I replaced my fender and that gap was a bit bigger then it should be. I found that adding a couple washers on the very bottom-rear screw sucked it in quite a bit. It is the screw on the rocker that is closest to the door.

bambo2888,
To get to that fastener, you will have to remove the removable close out panel in the wheel well.
Once in there you may be able see & be able to loosen the fastener & pull the panel closer & at the same time re tighten fastener, to hold panel in position.
Hope this helps.
