Fender Flare Part Broken

[Samd]

Are your fenders chopped? I found a set of Rubi fenders, did the chop and no longer needed those supports.

No they aren’t chopped, that plastic bracket piece is where my mud flaps attach, if I didn’t have these flaps I wouldn’t care if it was broken but it’s just annoying having 3 out of the 4 attached.

The mistake I made was sticking my head out the window and watched the fender flop around like a fish outta water at 75-80 mph….And, with my OCD, I had to shut that shit down……. Put a brace in, don’t put a brace in, I don’t care, I’ll back you either way….

Exactly, some people cant handle it fluttering even though they cant see it when driving and thats fine. But 50kmiles later my fenders only have issues with rocks and tree roots so far not wind driving down the highway.

Yea mine doesnt flop either unless you push on it, but I can see some people being paranoid. Like all the people freaking out about dragging under parts in that stock rubi on cliffhanger thread lol

Yeah mine don’t flop that I’ve noticed, i just have mud flaps that attach to that bracket and they broke off because of how cold it was. And that I decided to try to drive through a hole with thick ice and deeper than expected water

I had to replace my LF fender which looks to be the side you need correct? I think it was just the front lighting that got busted up so that section may be intact. I can check tomorrow and let you know. Will see how difficult it would be to remove if not "soldered" to the fender.

Job security I guess that you have to get the whole thing for one part. Will advise via PM

yea the brackets arent 100% necessary but some people dont like the floppy fenders or think they are gonna break. I can see the painted version maybe start to crack the paint but very unlikely.

On a related note, for over a year I've had only one white clip on each of the factory front fender flares (i.e. essentially just the bolts attaching the liners to the body) and they're rock-solid, don't flutter at all.

Left front is correct. Thank you for looking, and I think it’s 2 plastic screws and a plastic clip with zip ties around it from a quick video I watched of someone taking apart the fender.

I ripped off my JL driver front fender with a tree this past summer while on a trail. I replaced both front fenders, so the passenger front fender is still in great shape and sitting in my garage. I think I kept that part with it. The driver side one got destroyed by said tree.

Mine was also broken. Was planning to make a model and 3d print it. Seems really easy and cheap.

I think you should, there is definitely a market for it. I’d probably buy some from you
