Hey guys, I had a headlight recall done and didn't notice immediately, but I think they might have messed up the fiber barrier that goes in the right side wheel well just behind the bumper. I only noticed it because I'm definitely getting tire rub when at lock, which didn't happen before I don't think. Stock tires btw.

Is this something I can quickly fix? I tried pressing it back in with no success. Should I press harder?

Pics for ref

looks like a fastener needs reattached and what is that white stuff on your tires and on the ground?

Ugly cold snow and salt. I put on fluid film, but I never feel like it's enough or washes off. Time will tell.

I took a look underneath and didn't see anything standing out, but I'll look again when its cleaned up.

Mine started rubbing without a dealership visit, the fiber or whatever the liner is made of warps from heat, cold, moisture.....I dunno, but it warps and contacts the tire.

I used a zip tie for clearance - if you need pics I'm game but I would imagine you can figure it out!
