Default Aligning fender

How would I align my driver side fender it’s too far in and it’s scratching my door?

1. There's a mounting tab in the vicinity of cove (it's slotted).
2. It's accessed from the inside of the fender (fender lining should be removed).
3. With the mounting bolt loosened @ this location, you can move the fender in or out (loosen but do not remove the attachment bolt).
4. In this case, you want to move the fender out until the door edge no longer interferes with the fender.
