Wheel Arch Trim Popped

[robi]

I gave my 2025 Mach E Premium a much needed bath yesterday and discovered that the right rear wheel arch trim had popped out as you can see in my picture. Not sure how or where this happened but I suspect it might have been when I was backing up in my driveway and gently crunched the right rear corner of the bumper into a semi-solidified mound of snow. My theory is it may have flexed the rear bumper and that somehow put pressure on the plastic anchors holding the wheel arch in place. Thankfully I was able to align and pop it back in place with no sign of any other damage to the bumper, rear fender corner or this trim piece. Something I’ll be watching though and hopefully will not repeat.

Highly doubt that will happen again Ron unless you back into something. The fender trims are held on pretty good with those retainers.
