Hey all.

I've rarely posted here but I'm in need of assistance.

My g/f has an 03 Renegade, 3.7L auto, 4wd, loaded.

The driver side front wheel flare is starting to come off. I NEED to fix this asap.

I have zero body work knowledge so if anyone could tell me how to fix this before the problem gets any worse, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks RJ.

All are held on the same way
The rivets you see do nothing at all and are just cosmetic.
NAPA should have the clips you need in stock
Of course best way is to pull it off and reclip it

Then that's what I will have to do. I was afraid that perhaps the actual holes had gotten too wide to secure the clip.... Like I said, zero bodywork experience.

the dealership or napa has them, they're around $1 each for the main ones, $4 each for the 3 lower ones that go into the bumper.

they stop holding simply because the are oil based plastic and dry out.

This. Here's what they look like (so you know you're getting the right part:

I had a bunch of mine sheer straight off when I had a run-in with an ex-girlfriend's car while doing donuts. Let's just say it's a good thing I call her "ex" now.
