Thanks, I just ordered a pair.

Would double stick adhesive along the outter edge fail over time or would the trade off be worth the assumed ease of installation?

I love 3M VHB double sided tapes but I don't think it would hold in this application. The panel and liner can be drilled for some small pop rivets as some of the previous posts and DIY solutions have suggested/used. But I would still use some sort of sealant/adhesive between the panel and liner to keep small rocks and sand from getting between them.

There might be a good hot melt adhesive.

All the best,
Hein

I agree to use some tar stuff in between your product and the wheel well and rivet after the sticky install!! Perfect way to do it!

Finally have a kit available.

Spent lots of hours tweaking 3D CAD model and running test parts to optimize the fit. Parts are printed on our in-house MarkForged industial quality 3D printer using their Onyx micro carbon fiber filled nylon . Print time for RH and LH parts is about 6 hours.

Do also admire all the innovative DIY solutions posted in this thread. And a big thank you to Tony for making us aware of this issue.

This is great!! Well done! Great to see a product made out of it too.
Is there anyway we could make this riveted if possible or fastened with clips?
Lastly, once we can get a proper post install vids out here - inc undercarriage pics - I am sold!
Great work again! Love the ingenuity!

I will be ordering a kit once I get my car - Hopefully, March or April.

If you have been following this thread then you know that I have been working on 3D printed parts to cover the hole. I am using Ford 3D OEM CAD data as the basis for my design work. The production parts are not always exactly the same as the CAD models. Especially when it comes to vacuum formed parts like the fender liners. I ran some parts on our Markforged 3D printer. The parts were very strong and the fit was good but not as good as I like. So I made some design tweaks and currently running another set on our printer for another test fit. I will continue to dial these in until I am happy that they will fit well.

I had released files for the preliminary design to an RP service bureau Shapeways.com. I have since removed those files. We will produce the parts in house and sell them at our online store DIYvan.com

All the best,
Hein

Thank you for all your hard work, you’ve calmed my nerves and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Excited to purchase your fix so I can stop worrying about this issue once and for all.

Nice! I would personally have used rivets. I know it would be more difficult to install it without using a lift...

Rivets are definitely an option. Here is a photo of the panel installed and lightly coated with Rustoleum truck bed coating spray.

Rustoleum truck bed spray is another good idea to us as well! Thanks for all the info you have represented!

Thank you Hein!! Looks great!
Could we get a pic of the undercarriage as well. How it looks from the bottom post install - thank you!

I read somewhere her that Job 2 car fender liners would not have the holes. Supposedly, Job 2 started with production after 12-4-23. We received two cars this week, one built 1-10-24, and the other built 1-16-24, and they both have front inner fender liners with the holes in them. Maybe they are using up existing stock prior to changing over?

Awesome job Hein, hopefully we can get the word out to everyone that there is a perfect fit for this problem!

@heinvs If for some reason we have to take the part off what is the best way to remove it without damaging the liner too much?
