This can't be right...

While rotating my wheels I found this in both rear wells:

The liner is not attached to the inside of the fender at the top of the arc. There is a large gap where crap will certainly go up into the space above the well. There is nothing to attach it to the fender there No clip, no screw..nothing. What have I got here? This car has only 8000 miles on it. Wondering if someone can have a look at theirs and give me some insight as to what should be there. Some thing is definately missing. Thanks!

Completely normal, that's why we have to trim the liner when we go with aggressive fitments. The liner extends far enough to catch rocks thrown by the OEM tire size, there's no reason for it to touch the fender.

8k miles? Still under warranty. Take it to the stealership.

Thanks Ryne. I live in MN the land of salt and corrosion so I was worried about that. It's a daily. I've never seen fitment like that. The fronts are nice and tight against the fenders.

Yeah fronts are plastic and clamped down with all the tabs. The rear is a carpet material and mine hangs the same, rubs on big bumps but not because I can hear it, only because of the marks on it when I inspected it.

No reason to waste your time taking it to the dealership, it's normal. They will only make things worse by trying to "fix" it.

Mine look the same way, just get in there and see if you can make it fit a little better...its nothing major. I think once I drop my car I am just gonna remove the rears...not sure I need em and I am hearing a little rub when I hit a good enough bump
