2006 Explorer Limited Front Fender Question

[clubbsoda]

Hi!,
I own a 2006 Ford Explorer Limited V8 and my front fender keeps popping out. Can this be repaired (DIY) or do I need to go to the Ford Dealer? Thank you in advance for your responses.

Regards,

Joe

your talking about the molding?

the clips i dont can be sold separate.

if it needs to be replaced, it needs to be painted.

you can try double side tape, but i dont think it will hold up.

Waskly,
Thank You for the reply...I wish I can upload a picture to show what I mean...It is where the L&R fenders and the front bumper meet just below the headlights on the outer side...It looks like it just snaps in somehow...

Regards,

Joe

oh the bumper retainers, they can be purchased, i just screw the silly things together. if you take the headlight assembly out you can see it better.

Waskly,
Thank You again for the reply...Is this something I can purchase at say Pep Boys or a Napa auto parts? Or should I go to the Ford Dealer?
