Default Need pictures of where the fender and the door meet!

Some guy at a tire shop that i won't name jacked my car up on the little tabs that are attached to the fender, so my fenders are flared out AGAIN! I can't quite tell if ive bent it back far enough so can someone PLEASE post pics of their fender gap (in the correct position) so that i can compare it to something?

At an angle sort of like this so i can see how close it is



Thanks in advance.

This pic was from the last time it happened, just trying to show the area i was talking about. Last time it was easy but they bent it bad this time. It says right on the tab DO NOT JACK HERE. I don't get people some times.

Use some vice grips (or just some pliers if your stronger than i) and just bend the tab under the car back. I put a towel on the tab to protect the plastic. Not sure if its weak so i didnt wanna chance it. Doesn't seem to be working well this time so i might get a peice of wood and a mallet to beat the tab into submission.

PERFECT. Thank you. I got it almost flush with my door but the gap is far apart on both sides compared to yours. Not sure how i should go about fixing that . Good luck getting yours fixed!
