Gen 3 Wheel Arch Liners

[martswain]

Hi folks, was checking my tyre pressures and looked into the rear wheel arches.

The flexible liner that extends from the front is held on by about six threaded fasteners and all of mine were very loose.

You have to feel behind the wheel to find a couple.

Suggest you all have a look and tighten where necessary.

I found nine, each side, in total.

Some are on the inside lip of the wheelarch, just feel your way along the lip and you'll find them.

Don't try looking or you could end up with an eyeful of dirt. B)

All loose.

Anyway, a nice afternoon spent with the snowfoam, the super resin polish and the high def wax. :D

just checked mine, and as was said above, mine were all loose, I tightened them all up.

I wonder if they are left a bit loose for a reason, seems strange that we all have the same problem.

I considered that point too , but my gut feeling was they were better a little tighter than they were....haven't noticed any strange noises or anything else since.
