    I have a 2019 TRD Sport with fender flares that were factory installed from purchase new. They have been tightly fitted against the body up until recently when I noticed a gap on both passenger side. They are loose enough I can easily pull them out and put my finger between them and the body. They are not loose in the wheel well. Is there something I can do to tighten them up against the body or should I have the dealership fix them under warranty? Or are they somehow warped and needing to be replaced? I’ve never installed or messed around with fender flares prior to having them on this truck ‍♂️ Prefer not to use the dealership if there is something I can do myself. Thanks for your help or advice.

    I’d take it back to the dealership and let them fix it, being that they are already that loose my next concern would be the paint underneath the rubber. That much movement will quickly wear though your clear, paint and primer.

    Yep. Let the dealer fix it. I had aftermarket ones that had a little gap and they rubbed the paint. Got rid of them for ones that actually fit.
