Hello Everyone: Just joined. I recently purchased a 1998 Audi A4 1.8T. While backing out from a parking lot I managed to pull the front left fender out of its socket (in front of the driver side front wheel) and now despite of pushing it back, it does not want to stay in. One side is hanging down a little. i do not have the manual to figer out how to put it back. Any help will be appreciated. or a page from the manual how to put it back would be great help. Please feel free to PM me.

Thanks
A

Line up the bumper the way its suppose to be the best u can possibly get it making sure the clips behindare aligned, then give it a firm strike with the palm of your hand where the arrow on the attatched pic is. Im guessing you pulled up over the parking bump or a curb, if so try to park further away because theres a good chance it willpop offagain when u back out.

That same thing happened to me a few months back on my A6 and I was able to just pop it back in place...

 

yea line it up and push real hard, you may need to smack it, put it should pop back in. dont worry its plastic it wont dent.

 

same thing happened to me and in the same side lol ill try to push in to place tomorrow

 

Well, we seem to have a rash of these. Just happened to me on Thursday.

 

Thanks very much for the help. I will try that tomorrow and will let you guys know.
