Rear Ranger Raptor Fender Issue

[telenerd]

My rear fender flare on my Ranger Raptor popped off slightly at the top but the rest of the fender is held on place. Not sure if it was from off-roading or wasn’t installed right at factory.

Any ideas on how to pop it back in place? Do I need to remove the entire wheel well cover? I tried removing the screws that hold on the flare but it doesn’t want to budge for popping the fender back in place. I’m afraid if I pull on it might break the rest of the internal clips that secure the fender to the sheet metal. If all else fails I will take it in for warranty claim.

Best bet it to let them worry about it, that’s what a warranty is for. You mess it up that’s on you. They mess it up, it’s solely on them.???

It should just press into some clips. If it won't, I bet a couple of these guys are broken.

If they are broken, I bet it's a warranty issue. The square part slides into the flare and the body goes through the sheet metal on the fender. You can get to them form the back if you remove the wheel liner. It's a PIA on the standard Ranger, but maybe easier on the Raptor with the fabric liner?

Good to know. Yeah I bet one of those is broken. I tried removing the wheel liner and it’s a pain in the ass. I couldn’t get the dam felt liner to pop out after removing all the clips. I think I’m gonna take it in for a warranty claim and let them break the clips trying to get it apart.

I had the same problem with mine. I noticed after about a week. The dealer took care of it.

My 2024 Ranger raptor has 4600 miles on it. I just noticed the exact same thing happening to the driver side, rear panel and wanted to ask you if warranty covered it..

Also, curious if anyone else has had this issue in addition to the people in this form. The Ford dealership is saying they don’t know if it is covered under warranty, but I have the premium care and the original warranty.. if they fight me on it, my wife works for an attorney, but it shouldn’t be that hard. Any opinions or experiences are greatly appreciated.

Mine was replaced under warranty they had to replace the whole fender. The clips were missing. Wasn’t like that new, but I’m guessing my clips fell off bashing around at the dunes. 🫢

Mine looks like that. Just clips the come undone.

Thank you. Hopefully mine is under warranty as well. I can't imagine them trying to paint match Hot pepper red. I'll let you know what they say, but thank you again for letting me know. Much appreciated

I had to pull mine for the box reinforcement, the little clips Just pop off. If warranty doesn’t cover it, easy fix.
