Default C6 fender issues

Aloha folks!

I have recently had a blower installed in which the installer removed & reinstalled the hood, as well as removing the drivers side front fender....

I noticed last week that the gap between the fender & the hood on the drivers side had a larger gap than the passenger side, and this week, when I tried to open the door, I could feel the door and fender bind a tiny bit.

My question is did I not do something right putting the fender back on, or is the torque from my 640whp motor causing things to come out of alignment?

When I put the fender on, ever thing was good... What's happening, and how can I keep it from happening again?

Keith

mine was done the same way by the installer. I am guessing the fasteners on yours were not tight. I know its composite but you gotta get it tight. I did my rear fenders wide body and its still the same gap as when I tightened it up about 2 years ago

Roger that Mark, my rear widebody hasn't moved, only the front drivers quarter. I'll realign it today, and tighten the crap out of it, see what happens.

Thanks for the reply, mucho apprecierto!
