My caddy salesman finally returned from vacation and I dropped by to see him. I had him look at the driver side fender mis alignment and showed him how the passenger door was just touching the fender on the passenger side.

Now the cladding sticks out to the front about 1/8th of an inch and he said no problem they would just push the cladding back.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know it the cladding is mechanically attached or is it adhesively attached? It may not be that easy to shift. I don't want them to move the fender on that side as it is one of the few SRX front fenders that I have see properly aligned.

Also picked up a rubbing sound from the steering wheel, anybody else have that?

As I suspected, the cladding is taped on.

As I suspected, the cladding is taped on.

Exactly how much of this car is held together by tape, anyway? :eek:

The body colored trim on top of the third brake light is held on with tape.
Mine came apart and had to be replaced. There is a TSB for this one.
