Fender to Skirt Gap-How do i Fix?
Hey everyone. Just noticed this gap today. not sure where it came from. no accident or anything has happened. Just been out in the cold. Any ideas how to fix this? it’s driving me crazy. I’m hoping it’s a simple fix/adjustment. Thanks all!

Hitting a bump that hard or something on the road or pothole, isn't something I just wouldn't "notice"....
It sounds like.....Someone ....used a jack to jack the car up, and did it like a fool... That is why you have a "wrinkle" on metal underneath because they bent it while jacking the car up. As a result of course you have the bent side skirt as well.
Cold weather has nothing to do with it. That side skirt will need to be replaced, there is no "fixing" it if you want it to look halfway decent....

Thats what i was thinking. i just had tires put on in November and didn’t notice it then but now i’m wondering if that’s when it occurred. I’m sure they would deny liability at this point.
