Fender Liner

I've been getting a rubbing sound from the drivers front on hard cornering. Upon inspection I've discovered that the inner liner has a pucker in it. There is a molded bump toward the top front that fits over a metal seam. This is where the liner has puckered and it is bulged by a couple of inches. You can see where the tire is rubbing it and beginning to wear through it.

I tried pushing it up but it just pops back. Is there a trick to re positioning the liner? My worry is that crud, salt etc. will get behind it and rust out the area.

Re: Fender Liner

The liner is supposed to go behind the rubber moulding around the fender lip.

Re: Fender Liner

It is behind the molding. It's the side closest to the engine that has this V shaped bulge similar to a folded tent card. It runs about 5 inches.

Re: Fender Liner

I would remove the thing and see exactly what the story is.
Applying a heat gun should allow you to get it shaped back good enough and hold in that position till it cools it should stay there.

Just a thought...
