You can see a few milimeters gap at the part behind the front wheel where it should sit flat on the fender as well all along the rocker from there back the adhesive is peeling open. There is dirt visable where the rocker is lifting.
I'm guessing either the rocker panel is a 1/2" too long or the vehicle has a bit of variance size tolerance which messed up the fit.
I have considered removing ther rocker and maybe putting it back with some type of spacer at the front wheel well area where the rivets go in.
It sucks feeling like I messed up an otherwise new car.

Hi wbradley,
We have also seen that there is a variance in the fitment of the stock vehicle body panels that can dictate the fitment of the side skirt. From vehicle to vehicle we have noticed that the gap between the front fender and door can vary in width, just slightly. This variance can then cause undue stress on the side skirt.
Please feel free to send us more info on your concern as well to
info@fivead.net and we will do what we can to help you assess what you have encountered.
Thanks!
