Default Fender adjustment near bottom of headlight?

Anyone experience this issue before? I think the previous owner may have pulled to far up on a curve. This is the passenger side. The drivers side is aligned perfectly.

Can anyone point me in the direction for adjusting this gap? It looks worse up close, but from a distance it's harder to notice. But it's still there and bothers me. Let's see if I can get the pics to post.

Thanks in advance!

the front fascia has tabs on it which are inserted into slots in the fender...…….. appears one may be out of position on yours or perhaps damaged

There's two bolts inside the wheel well right there that connect the front fascia to the fender, I'd check those.

That has been the most reported.

Thanks for the replies. I will pull the tire this weekend and see if I can get access to it to see what it's going on. Hopefully some minor adjustments.

Also.....would anyone have any diagrams or schematics of these bolts? I'm pretty sure it will be apparent once the line comes off......but just want to make sure I'm looking at the right stuff.

Again, thanks in advance!

Attached a file which shows step by step directions on the fascia removal, so you should be able to get it squared away...……….

Not a problem, that is what the forum is supposed to be about.

Best of luck getting it corrected.
