For the wheel well, is this a common issue? My car is pretty gently used and only has like 35k miles, but it started coming loose like two years ago even. Not sure how easy or expensive it would be to get this fixed

From what I can see in the 1st pic. The liner was loose and came back and rubbed on the tire. You have to remove the front bumper and see what else that maybe damaged in that area.

Exactly. I had this happen when I hit a particularly bad bump on the interstate and my old CF lip got decimated. It pulled the fender liner into my tire which ate it up immediately, and damaged my windshield washer fluid line.

Now here is a question. Had you asked it in your original post, I might have understood what you needed.


Personally, I have never heard of this happening. A body shop visit will give you a better idea what needs to be done to fix it.

True, there was no question. Maybe I took your comment the wrong way. I was just looking to see if anyone had similar experience or comments. I suppose it's not a question I need an answer to, as it doesn't affect how I'll handle the situation - I was just making conversation
