I’ve got an 07’yuk
The wheel well plastic is curling and warping. Not sure what is causing this to happen
Anyone else ever have this issue?

It sounds like it was missing the plastic rivets and steel screws that held it in place. Pick up some rivets at the local auto store and try refastening it. You may have to have a friend hold it in position as you do it.

Thx. The plastic is curling just past the connecting points. A pic would be better standby

So his friend holds it while he sticks it in. Sweet. Of course I'm assuming it's a he...

Can you get a heat gun after it and mold it back into place?

I see that it has broken from not being fastened adequately. It may be cheap to buy a replacement with new rivets and screws. As I remember mine has screws just in the bottom holes along the body and the rest are rivets.

I’ll try a heat gun.
