Hey all

I have a 2000 TJ VRX, as i was washing the car the other day i noiced the rear arch flares on BOTH sides are coming loose at the top, pretty crappy for a 3 1/2 yr old car i reckon!! Have also noticed the rubber lining around the front wheel archs has deteriorated a little and dirt & bitumen stones r getting in behind em.....had 2 happen 5 mths outta factory warranty eh!! Lets hope if i decide 2 keep it another year im not up for a refit of the kit eh!!

Anyone who has one, keep an eye on em - esp while in warranty (that is presuming the fitting of the kit is covered).

My car had that happen.. It was because when they stick the arms under the side of the car to raise it for a service it hits the bottom part of the kit. Pushing the side arch flares up.

If you pull them down from each side it will fix them up. I can post some pics of how to do this if you like (Youll find that youve probably lost a clip that should be at the top of it aswell.).

Yeah I had that happen on my left flare.. all it was is one of the clips fallen off. I had it replaced on warantee, & it's since happened again. When i get around to gettin a new clip I'll Arildite the F#*ker on!
