i would go back and bitch if you cry hard enough they will fix it the customer is always right

 

I do bodywork for a living and have repaired several with the same problem.

One thing that was not mentioned was to heat the fender lip with a heat gun before bending it back in place. The heat softens the plastic and allows the fender lip to easily bend into place without cracking. Depending on how bad it is bent most of them will crack/break if not heated before hand.

Remove the bolts, bend the steel tab back in place, then heat the fender lip and slowly bend it back into position.

The is the best method I have found.

 

Mine were bent too, but I used pliers to bend them back. Also, one of the fenders broke at the tab so I just used epoxy and fiberglass to re-attach it.

 

This is why I always insist on watching my car be lifted if I have to take it somewhere. When I was shopping for my camaro I couldn't believe how many of them I saw that had this problem and no one fixed, well over 50
5 of the cars i saw.

 

this happened to me it cracked the fenders and the mecanic put it under the rocker and dented that to a 1000$ repair and the shop told me it wasnt there problem

 

This happen to me Take it back to them to make it right. There are braces underneath the fender that might need replaced. Also ask them to weld in you SFCs for free as a good jesture.

 

Hey do any of you guys have pics of this because I was wondering if this happened to me also. Thanks

 

oh god I see it now. I have a gap between my passenger fender and the door large enough to fit my finger into. Wow I should be shot for not seeing that.

 

Here.
unbolt the tabs & bent the fender tab inward.
then bolt the tab back in place.

change your oil yourself. Don't let some dick F!@#% up your car.
i had some jackass do the same thing @ Dicount tire. I specifically told the guy to watch where he was javking the car. He bent both tabs out! I went postal on he & the manager. Do it yourself.!
Not difficult @ all.
Good luck.

 

Doesn't it just suck? Took mine in for it's first tire rotation at a private shop I've done business with for years. Some little dipshit that worked there for about 2 weeks (probably thanks to me) lifted mine and bent the mounting tabs on one side toward the outside (fixed w/BIG F Channellocks); bent the other side toward the inside and ripped the bottom. About $100 to fix the rip, I took it out in trade at the shop. I now watch to see if a FNG puts mine on the lift, the old timers know how to do it right.
-Grumpy old man-

 

Does any1 have pics? 'cause I think I have that problem.

 

there you go buddy i know it took 5 years but i wont let you down!

 

Can anyone post pics of the proper lift points??

 

This is yet another stupid design by the idiots at GM. The jack points that GM says to use.....damages the body panels.

GM and all dealerships are supposed to know this. You need to make a stink about it and have them fix it at no charge.

There's also a nymber you can call, I think its like 800-pm-cares or maybe its gm-cares.

Either way, they will fix it for free if you show them how pissed you are. Don't wait.
