Advice please.2015 V8V. I just had some work done which involved removal of under trays and all 4 arch liners.All went well. I just noticed that the arch liners don't appear to fit very well at the bottom but I don't know if they have always been like this and I didn't notice or if they have not been put back in correctly.The first pic is at the bottom behind rhs front wheel.The second pic is ahead of same wheel. Both front liners look like this although all fixings would appear to be in place.Would someone kindly post a pic of correctly fitted arch liner? Many thanks

Here's a 2007 front. A close fit at the bottom. Can't show rear because of mud flap, but it is also a close fit.

Yes, that doesn't look too good. They are not a perfect fit but usually better than that. How does it compare with the other side?

Both sides the same, I'm guessing if they couldn't figure out the correct fitment they made the same mistake on both,hence I was hoping to see a correct one.I'm now waiting to see a vantage parked up so I can look.

I'm no expert but photo 1 appears to show a small curved piece at the end which would appear to tuck under or attach to the "receiver" just visible - obviously it doesn't as the liner appears not to have been fitted correctly.
If the corresponding other side is the same then I would be sending the photos to whomever did the work to ask .

Agreed in photo 1 it is not fitted correctly, it should be slotted in to the grove there to specifically support and hold in place. You can even see the dirt and discolouration as a change in colour from where it had been fitted before which would follow contours if the arch-lining.
