beenen Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 is there a way to move the fender up or door back a little? when I open my drivers side door, the cladding makes contact with the fender and is damaging it. by the looks of the orange peel in the fender, it looks to be resprayed which leads me to think it's been in an accident.

rcapone Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 More than likely the cladding adhesive failed right there. Same thing happened to mine when I bought it on the passenger side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's expensive I paid 50 or 60 bucks for a roll of 5/8 wide stuff from a body shop supply store. You'll have lots left over for the "next time". Lol.

levilz Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I never heard of this happening until mine did it. Now I'm noticing it come up all over the place. My wife opened the door, it caught and tore the shit out of the moulding. At least she forked over the money to replace it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to remove you may pull off paint! Superglue is for models.... not the full size ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachm89 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Same thing happened to mine a few years ago. I had to have a body shop remove the cladding, re-shape it to the door and then put it back on with new tape. Haven't had a problem with it since then but if it has caught too many times and tweaked the cladding enough it would benefit greatly to take it to someone who can refit it to the door perfectly so the natural curve of the cladding doesnt work against the new tape and pop right back off again in the same spot.
