Fender/rocker adjustment?

[_TraMor]

Hey folks, so I have an issue where the bottom of the fender at the rocker doesn't line up real well. The bottom of the fender appears to just be 2 bolts but there's significant gap between the overlaps 1/2" or so front and back, left and right. Is there enough play to just loosen it up on the bottom and moving it to where it needs to be or should I be looking at a professional?

Thanks in advance. Attached imaged for clarity.

You might not find a shop willing to make such a small tweak.

Try removing the lower fasteners and doing gentle pulla downward til you're satisfied.

Its possible the holes are slotted some in the fender making small adjustments easy.


Mine are alightly out of alignment but given build quality lately, Im just gonna not worry.

I'd be satisfied with yours as well, mine is much more out, like pulled from the vehicle and the overlap is larger. I'm going to get out there soonish to take a closer look. I'll post an actual picture to give a better idea.

All the body panel holes on every car ever made is larger than the bolt holding it in. You might get some adjustment out of it but loosen the entire fender to avoid putting a crease in it. Sounds dumb but considering that section at the bottom is so small it could happen. I grew up working in my neighbors body shop. I was that punk kid that got to bondo and prime Harleys because the owners were so picky they wanted it perfect.

Well, apparently I got hung up on something. Thankfully there's no crease but I think I'm going to have a professional do the adjustment... I'm admittedly real good at rough work but real bad at finish work. Thanks for the info though, it's great to learn something everyday.

Damn, yeah that's a pro's job.
