Rear Fender is Broke

[jimcrom]

Well 26,000 miles and now the rear fender brackets are broke. Called the dealer and he wants me to bring it in (140 miles) and then a tech will inspect it...then the dealer will call Western Services who will then set up a claim. They said that then Western will send an inspector to inspect the vehicle. So what am I supposed to do in the meantime? I suggested that I send him pictures so that they can start the claim process, submit the claim and then have the inspector come to where I am to inspect the vehicle. Then the parts get ordered and when they come in I can bring the spyder in and have them installed.

What is involved in replacing the brackets? Does the tire have to be removed. Since I am not mechanically inclined it was a major event just to get the fender off.

Others have posted about this same problem. I am guessing it is a warranty issue. Unfortunately, you have to play the game with everyone involved. It can be a pain sometimes.
