So, I was driving to Little Rock today, and I heard this weird noise, then I look in my mirror, and I see this huge piece of black plastic flying away behind me. after I get to my destination, I hope out, and there is melted black plastic all over the side of my car. My wheel well got torn off. I'm going to try and take it to the place that put the new one on (for those of you who don't remember: I had to get a new one after I put the old one back wrongly, and it got damaged in the snow, and drug against my tire.) and see if they've got anything to say about getting me a new one. I'll try to post a picture of the plastic tomorrow. right now it's too dark, and I'm way too tired.

those rivets came off my xb too. I had to buy new ones I think they come off by vibration.

Yuck ! Sounds like it must have been rubbing against the tire.

It was, then it caught against the ground I guess, and just ripped right off.

If this is happening to your front wheel well liners a possible cause is that they have loosened up on a curb stop. I am not accusing you of doing this just warning others. Make sure to stop short of curbs. When your spoiler hits, the wheel well liners get torn too. Once they are torn, air gets under them and they rip right out of the car. I have seen this happen a bunch.
