[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15773218, member: 121775"] It's a problem with the molds. That's one of the downfalls of using multiple parts suppliers. They all have the CAD measurements, but they don't all use the same tolerances when it comes to final production of the parts. Either the supplier of the substructure made it too thick or the fascia supplier made the contours a little too steep. I'm betting the substructure was produced thicker than it was supposed to be. When you try to jam the fascia in where it's supposed to be, it looks perfect. I don't know if I'd try to force the tabs to stay on without addressing the substructure first. It might transfer too much load to the tabs that [i]are[/i] holding in place and cause them to fail, making the situation much worse. I think the substructure needs to be shaved back by 2 or 3 millimeters. [/QUOTE]
