Front fender vent fitment

[MDFilip]

I have not looked at a lot of others but I'm not happy with the fitment of the front fender vents. This weekend I adjusted the hood latch and aligned the hood to the fenders and they started looking aver the rest of the car and those fender vents look terrible. Anyone remove and reinstall the stock vents? I'm thinking maybe they did not push them in enough and the double sided tape stuck and is preventing them from seating properly.

My driver's side seems to not be in all the way at the very top

Ditto, lower portion of my driver’s side isn’t flush but I don’t the dealer to touch it.

I have the same issues with both of mine, though the passenger-side piece isn't as bad as the driver-side one.

If anyone knows of a fix that doesn't require the dealership, please share!

I’ll take some close pictures of mine but I think I will take one out and see if it was put in incorrect or if it’s just a poorly made part.

Same here!

I thought I read one theory, perhaps here on another thread, that it was because the fenders that are actually inconsistent and not so much the plastic vent covers. I don’t know that’s just something I read somewhere just thought I’d add it in here.
Either way, I’m curious as this is something I would like to address over the winter.

I had that on my 16 but my 17 was ok. On the 16 what I did was just filled in the space with tube of black silicone you can buy Walmart or automotive store and smoothed it at the edge with my finger. Rubbed excess off with cloth. It looked perfect and gap not exposed any more. You'd never have known it wasn't seated tight all along the edge. Both sides looked as if they were now totally flush.

Each time I see one of these discussions I think about the old Quality is Job 1 commercials.

Drivers side bottom for me. My advice is that if you are like me - a touch of OCD with these things - don't look closely at the car. 5 foot rule after a few barley pops works best.

I‘ve never looked at the vent fitment. Will try to continue to do so.
