wheel flares coming loose

[mfexpanda]

has anyone noticed the silastic that help hold on the wheel flares is not sticking to the black checkerplate ?
We had the door side fixed and now I noticed the other side is coming apart .
While at Halls Gap we checked @Bluey and @davemc vans and theirs are too .
anyone else ? I think its only on the black ones

Yep. Mine also are lifting where it curves on both front and rear and on both sides. Van is in for its 1st service and it is one of the warranty issues to be sorted.

Yep same with mine. Going in for a pre trip service in May and will be getting fixed.

Will have to check ours when I take the cover off again. But check them each time I wash it and have had no issues so far.

BJ.

just put your finger behind the flare and push it towards you gently

Yes I thought I mentioned this some time ago? Also the checker plate seems to come away slightly behind the guard as well and mud and crap gets up behind. I was going to remove my guard seal the checker plate back to the body properly first, then sika the Guard on.

They might look like carbon fibre finish but they are a far way from carbon fibre strength lol

@achjimmy your not wrong there .
i noticed at the melbourne show the flares are now smaller in size and the mid mounted reflector is smaller on the 2015 models .

Just checked "gently" and the rounded corners are just pulling away slightly but the straight sections seem to be OK..... Something to keep the eye on!
