Welcome to the club... dealer told me trying to fix it could turn out even worse... sadly I'm thinking I'll have to learn to deal with it. The top part if pokes our further than door, then as it curves back down it it jets inward to door... so by pushing in high spot will only push in lower part even worse.

No win here. Replacing entire panel & breaking factory paint isn't something I'm willing to do.

Plz let us know what dealer says or does, good luck!

Mine was the same but it is very easy to fix. Those fenders are squishy, just use your hand with a microfiber cloth push it in (gently)align with the door.

OK guys here is a side pic of the fender as you can see we put a red circle around the lower fender adjuster, you get to it from the wheel liner.

there are tow one low like this one and one high, think you can see that one when you open the door, and look at the fender.

1st off thank you,

Kind of an awkward pic, but let me get it straight tho, the red circle is the lower part of door? So the fender is laying upside down in the pic you posted?

So it's a bolt that we turn clockwise to bend inward? Counter to bend outward? Or remove bolt adjust fender, put bolt back & re-tighten?

What tools would we need? Does the wheel need to come off to reach?

Do we need to unclip/remove rocker panel to help/allow flexibility of the fender?

No its not that hard, whats going on is your fender is sticking out at the low side, when you get to the bolt all you do is loosen it, to the point where you can move the finder in, so it lines up with the door, nest re-tighten the bolt you may need a friend to hold it as you tighten the bolt, not hard at all.

So just jack up car, remove the wheel & take off liner.... ? Sounds simple, but since I'm not mechanically inclined, could you tell me what best tool for the job? Screw driver type/size.

I don't remember the size or tool i used.
