Dislodged Foam in Front Quarter Panel

[MidnightStars]

My apologies if this is the incorrect place to post this.

The foam chunk between the passenger door & quarter panel got dislodged, and now rattles when driving + a loud squeak when opening & closing the door.
Will I be able to access the area to replace it by taking off the wheel + wheel well cover?

I could not for the life of me get any good angle or picture of it, so here's a schematic:

The foam piece is item #13.

You shouid be able to access that part by removing the plastic wheel liner sheild. The shield is secured with twist locks; remove all, look for any push pins, remove those then the liner should come out.

If you have a Performance Package S550, be aware that it may have air intake tracts going to the liner at the front and down low. So removal must be careful as to not to break or crack those parts that go into the front bumper cover.

Thank you very much!

Dislodged in what matter? I don't see how that foam piece would rattle while the car drives.

Sorry, didn't get notified about this.

Some how, the foam piece got knocked forward (screw got loose, but stayed attached to the foam). It twisted sideways and sort of sat there--any vibrations traveled up and rattled the piece, knocking against the body and the... firewall? Don't know what that part was, but you could hear it inside the cabin, from the passenger side. It sounded like it was coming from the glovebox, but nothing in there was making that noise.
