Guys,
I am looking for an Eddie Bauer X or a Mounty, probably 2000 or 2001. I have a question about the X though. Today, while looking at an Eddie Bauer, I noticed that the fender flares on the front didn't seat up tight to the fender in every area. I realize that this may be a sign of a prior accident. My qustion to you guys though, is that if this is normal or not? The flares are seperate from the fenders so there is an opportunity for water and mud to get in there and potentially rust and rot the fender that is hidden by the flare. Am I right? Do you guys remove these flares periodically to clean and wax this area or am I worried about notthing? Thanks in advance for all responses and if anyone has anything to add that I should be looking out for please do.
Thanks,
Elevatorguy
