Stock Fender Flares Loose/Rattling
All of my stock flares are loose, to the point i cant hear them rattling around with driving sometimes. Has anyone else had this problem, if so how did you fix?
thanks,
thanks,

Is it the outer fender panels, the inner fender lining, or the inner support pieces? A lot of varios bolts, clips, and pins are involved in holding up the fender flares. It's easier to help diagnose the problem if you give specifics. Do the outer flares give when you try to wiggle them, do you have any holes under the flares where a bolt or plastic piece looks like it's missing? Etc... Pics also help.

My front ones are doing the same thing. Both the inner wheel well liner and the actual flares move significantly. I've looked and can't find any missing broke pieces. So tonight I stopped at a dealership and jiggled a few of the new jks on the lot and they are solid. So I'll be taking her to the dealer this weekend.

My front inner fender liners rattled...
That bolt that's pictured above -- Mine was tight but there was slop between it and the fender liner. I took up the slack by wrapping a wire tie around the bolts shaft and cinching it up.
