Wheel Well Liner

Ever since I got my truck, I've noticed the wheel well liners aren't tucked all the way under the edge. I've tried pushing them back in but they won't stay. Should I be concerned?

I had the same problem with my Bronco Sport. I'm not a fan of the fabric lining.

Just a sign of the times . Cheap and easy way to used recycled product and cover things up.even plastics are getting too expensive for production vehicles .
Some of the reason for the recycled fabric covers ( I think) is it reduces the road noise and echo of plastic liners and shields , weight too .
min 10 years going to have a hard time finding replacements !
I doubt aftermarket will establish these giant molds for making replacements at the low return on investment .
They are only around 80-130 from dealer ,i may consider doing some in 5-6 years before they get hard to find .

Sheesh,my 52 year old classic uses metal,then they went to plastic,now it's a fabric material?

It seems like it's a fabric-like material laminated to a plastic liner. The rears are just plastic, at least on my XL.

Someone should use a 3D printer to make a plastic clip that snaps onto the fender lip and holds the liner up. I’d buy a bag of six.

Pretty sure that's just the design. Agree though... not great.
