Default why is my corner crooked?



i know my car was in a wreck from the previous owner, because you can see where they did a shitty job repainting the fender where the paint is chipping off, revealing the paint from the donor car. but that was on the OTHER side.. and the other corner is perfect. it is an oem corner too, not some cheapy after market or ebay special. anyone know a bolt or screw i could loosen to adjust it or something? the clips holding it are brand new too.. so that isnt the problem.. thanks

looks like the fender needs to be moved up, just a hair. that might straighten it out. shouldn't need to be moved much either, maybe a 1/4 of an inch

yeah, that bumper filler is deffinetly a problem. i will be replacing that some time soon if hopes of fixing it. what do you think is up with the fender? is it like a crx fender or something? i just want my hatch to not be cross-eyed anymore.

when you say up do you mean like physically towards the sky? or do you mean pushed back towards the passenger door more?

That actually looks like a CRX corner light. Take the one off of the other side and compare the 2.

there are 2 clips on the corner light , one at the top and one athe the bottom. it looks as if the bottom clip isnt in place. try removing it an re-installing it, making sure that all clips go in place.

I had this same problem on my hatch, its your front b7mper support. if u take off your bumper then behind that is the bumper support......take it off(2 bolts on each side) then lay it on the floor i garuntee its bent to ****. Which in hand, would cause one side to be somewhat protruding into your bumper making it puch out and look almost stock on one side and then u have the smushed side which will cause that side to bow in and this is why u have a "lip" on the left side. and that bumper filler needs to go lol.

silver hatch is right about the bumper light. that is for sure a hatch bumper light, and that is for sure a hatch fender. its just not aligned right.
