Default Fender flare lifting...

For those with fender flares has anyone had problems with them lifting? I have the TRX4 so I do have them, the one rear on the driver side has about a 7 inch section that has lifted up from the truck. Looks like they are held on by adhesive so I doubt the fix will be too tough, but just curious if anyone has had this problem. I have had the truck for about a month and have not been off road. This will be the first time I will have to take to the dealer..

I'd try to sticky tape it down. The dealer can be the devil.

I have noticed our flairs are not completely flush against the body around the edges. They are not coming off so I just assumed it was normal. I can push in on them and they go more against the body so it could become an issue at some point I suppose.

Yeah well I can see they are not completley flush because there is like a foam adhesion used but in this one section it looks like even the foam has lifted.

If the tape has lifted I would take it to the dealer and let them fix it. I noticed mine didn't sit flush when the truck was new.

Don't know what you mean by lifted, aren't they held on by screws in the wheel well? The tape should only adhere the top of them to the truck. This is how even after market flares work.

They suck at keeping mud off the truck anyhow. I think I'm going to try these.
