Remove Plastic wheel well liners?

GSS138 · 11-16-2014, 01:11 PM

So now that car is on a set of coils and lowered a fair amount, experiencing some intermittent rubbing on those plastic wheel well liners on the sharper corners. It's not too big of a deal because there is a lot of flex in them, but the banging sound is sort of annoying. Was thinking of just cutting them out so that there is more clearance but wanted to see if anyone has any experience removing them?

Take a heat gun and heat up the areas they rub then push them in. This is the best way to do it.

Yea I would keep them in there to keep the mud, dirt, and rocks out of those areas. Possibly trim or heat gun them like scorp38 says

Yeah most definitely heat up and mold that shat how you need it. You don't want to cut it you'll get all kinds of **** in your door sills and engine bay not worth it.
