  • Fender looks bent, but isn't

    I was just outside and noticed that the front left fender sticks out about a quarter inch compared to the right one. Everything else is lined up perfectly, it's just the section where it curves to match up with the shape of the mirror sticks out further.

    Has anyone had this problem? I know for sure that the fender was not bent. The surface is perfectly smooth, but this section doesn't match up.

    this is a camaro right? is it the fender part along the side under the mirror? if so, get a pair of vice grips, clamp onto that little piece where you jack up the car, and bend it back down. mine has done that before.

      It's the Camaro. I don't get how the part where you jack up the car could be causing this though. The rest of the fender is fine, except for the section that meets up with the mirror sticks out. It's at the top of the fender. Would bending something back down work? It looks like it just needs to pop into place at the top.

          that is for when the bottom of the fender is sticking out. A lot of people don't know that when the top of the fender is mis aligned a little, that you can easily fix it by opening the door and where the mirror part connects, there will be a screw and a washer there that holds the fender. If you unscrew the screw and slide the panel(fender) over until its in it's correct location, it is easy to fix [img]smile.gif[/img]
