Rear Fender Flare Issue

[Tranzella]

For the first time today I noticed a gap at the top of my driver’s rear fender flare. Looks like the top clip is not seated properly and I have no clue how this happened. Any tips on how I can fix this? If I remove the flare are the clips reusable?

Did you try pushing it back in?

The clips should be reusable. As mentioned, try pushing it back in, if not, it could be damaged.

But your truck is new, take it to the dealership and they should fix it for you. Likely they will partially remove that fender flare so they can access and replace that specific clip.

Yeah, I tried pushing it back in but no luck.

No worries, it sucks a $1.50 clip is causing the issue, but it's honestly a pretty easy fix. I would have the dealer work on it though since you are under warranty. But if you don't feel like waiting, you can order the clips from the dealership and watch some YouTube videos that show how to remove those flares and replace the damaged clip.
