    Dude, has anyone noticed their fender flares coming apart, as in the glue strip that holds them to the body separating...

    Mine have the same gap that's from the double sided tape used along with the clips in place. If it's not actually opening up where you can see air through it, you're fine.

    If it's a tiny portion, 3M Weatherstrip adhesive will hold it if you can do a clean job with proper masking. If the dealership does it, they're either replacing the whole flare (which may come with the adhesive strips) or sending it over to a body shop to redo the double sided adhesive.
    It's a minor annoyance, but I'm sure it will bother the shit out of some just like the squeaks and rattles after they take it out on the dirt a few times.

    That's what they told me, Monday have to drop it off so the body shop can scope it out, then decide whether to fix or replace like you said. I worked for a Toyota dealership before, I know exactly what they're going to pull and I made sure to let them know that as well lol
