Loose fender well
 
Has anyone had an issue with one of the fender wells continually coming loose from the fasteners that attach them in place? I have a 2007 v6 premium where the passenger side front wheel well comes loose and "flops" around. Any solves?

I noticed last week when I washed my car that the right front wheel liner is flopping around a good bit!

Wheel Wells get loose from 3 things. Hitting a large object that slaps the liner, Oversized holes from the factory or just broken/dried tangs. Replacing the plastic tangs is the first step. or you can try using real screws liberally dipped in silicone every 3rd one. Using real screws will heighten the chance of rust if not very carful, and makes it a booger to get back off if needed.

just sayin..........

Where can you find those plastic screw/connectors? I have a loose wheel well too.

You can usually find a pack of them at a Auto-Parts store, heck of a lot cheaper than the Stealers. For my Old Truck, Dealer wanted $2.50 a piece. Same things at the Auto PArts store for about 5 bucks for 5 or 10.
Just bring one with ya for the size.

I have this issue also, on the passenger side fender well. At the rear it flops around but I cannot find any holes where there might be missing screws. The dealer said they looked at it too and said it was built that way!
