Gap in Front Arch Liners

Anyone else notice a gap in their front arch liners?

That is not right, the photo is not of the whole wheel arch, so it’s difficult to tell, from the photo it looks like the top section is overlapping the wheel arch, causing the liner to be held off its seated position

see mark up

The liner should sit inside the wing panel , looks like yours is sitting on the panel edge ?

the photos below are a T6, looks like the T6.1 has an extra plastic deflector fitted to the edge of the wing panel.

look at the bottom of the liner, you should see a a cupped recess undo the one torx screw, remove it full, gently pull the liner away from the arch and refit the liner behind to wing panel, refit the lower torx screw.





edit : see Mark up photo of torx screw location

Please report back your findings to help others

Are all of your fasteners installed and in the correct holes? The liner as photographed is going to offer a full-on water and debris catch. I removed my liners to inspect the inner well (2005 Ocean, no accidents) and found the lower face of the rocker panels filled with compacted fine dirt and leaf matter. Surface rust had started and required sanding, rust removal and protective epoxy POR15 treatment and Waxoyl spray..
Those liners are essential to rust protection but must be installed in a way to have them operate properly. Periodic removal and inspection is critical to controlling corrosion.
