I'm on my first major trip with my Challenger and I had a very disturbing situation. I left the park in Amarillo, TX and a trucker called on the cb and said my wheel cover was coming loose. I pulled over and checked the hub cap and it seemed fine to me. Back on the road and in a few hours another trucker informed me that a piece of moulding or my fender was flapping in the breeze. I pulled over and discovered that the left front section over the wheel had pulled away from the rear and top. It wasn't that the screws pulled out for they were still attached. The fiberglass just split! I tried to duckt tape it but it wouldn't hold. I finally took a saw and cut away the bad section. Some of the roads have been horrible, notably I 40 in OK and I guess it just caused the thin fiberglass to rip. Thank goodness for the notification from the truckers on thr cb.

Good evening ear-doc2. I have the same problem with the right front one. I clipped a traffic cone (down here we call them highway dept dunce caps) and cracked mine. I repaired it with epoxy with good luck till last week. Now the epoxy has cracked also. I am going to try a small 90 degree bracket with some fiberglass to see if that will hold. All else fails I am going to have my dealer order me one I guess with the Ins Co paying for some of it. That is some pretty thin material isn't it. Good luck with it. Take care and travel safe..........Jim

The material is thin but I didn't hit anything!
mine just tore apart.

I traveled I-40 in OK a couple years ago on my first long trip with my new fiver I had then.
The road shook a front side window till it broke and with rope and duct tape made the trip. Also lost on of the tank drain handles.

Worst road I have ever been on. Came back via I-10 and I-20.
