cracked wheel fender

[wally2117]

GD replaced 2 fenders on waranty. Great service, again.

I have these cracks too . . . but, I think Minnow101 has the right idea. The holes through the skirt need to be supported behind the skirt. Because of the flange on the skirt molding, there is space behind the screw location that allows the screw to pull the skirt in far enough to split.

Agree Rob, same as Ray recommended, I put washers behind skirt as well.

Great news.

You may want to put washers or something behind to fill space before they crack again.

I’m going to pull mine and if there’s a space and if so I’ll fill them before they create stress cracks. I’ll measure the space and glue something that won’t rust to fill the void. Perhaps a flat piece of nylon or Delrin and drill a screw hole through it.

We had the same issue on our 2015 337RLS...contacted GD and the color was no longer being made; would have had to get white or brown and it wouldn't match the rig. Took it to our friendly Ford Dealer and they reinforced it and we put it back on...

Hi Dale Surprise,AZ,

Per the earlier discussion on this thread, the original grey part (PN570052) is no longer available.
You will have to choose the Champagne (PN570175) or the Black ABS (PN570269)
The latter PNs should be available from your GDRV dealer.
The Champagne could be repainted to the grey colour . . . the Black is a rough pebble finish.

If you want to go aftermarket, use the dimensions on the attached pictures. There are a lot of different axle spacings which will affect these dimensions.

(as a Registered Guest on this forum, you may not be able to open the attached pictures, but you can find the originals on the Parts Lookup page of the Grand design website)

Dale - our 2014 had the matching color wheel openings piece as noted in Rob's picture and what you have on your 2015. We had new walls installed by the GDRV factory service center last May and they installed the dark color ones then. Here's what it looked when we getting ready to bring our 303 back home after installing the dark color ones as noted in Rob's post. At first I was not too sure but I really like them now.
