    I don't know how it happened but my passenger side front fender flare popped out a bit. Seems like the clip that holds it together broke. Does anyone know how to remove the flare and what clip it is so I can purchase it? Thank you!

    Here are the clips that were on my 2020. There is also a thin adhesive gasket that runs along the inside edge of the flare if you are removing the entire thing. If you remove the front bumper, you can reach up into that area.

    That is very helpful. Do you know or can share a video on how to take the fender out? I havent had luck finding one in youtube.

    Best picture I have saved on my phone. Picture is from the front looking into the area above the liner. It wasn’t easy to push the clip in due to the tight space. You may need to remove the wheel well liner for easier access if you replace them all. Unfortunately don’t have any videos, but once you get the bumper off and can see in there it looks pretty straight forward. One of those all or nothing situations as you will most likely break the remaining clips to get the flare off. I’ll see if i can find the gasket part number. I didn’t end up taking mine off so still have the gasket around somewhere.
