Wales 2015 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Fuji White

When I fitted mine I found that the position of the clip on the back ones made a difference as to how tightly the top of the flap fitted against the bumper. Try varying the position of that a bit and see if it makes a difference.

My flaps are pretty tight now. (Phnar! Phnar!) Razz

Papa Smurf, best thing to do with the Flaps to get a nice snug fit is remove them, lay them in a bowl of warm to hot water for a few minutes, refit them but bending the flaps so they fit nice and when they cool down they will mould to the shape they are in.

Hi boss
Also loosen the top inside screw and fit a small plastic washer as sometimes when you tighten the top screw it pulls out the top like yours has and as someone else says position of the steel clip is essential to keep it right mine are as snug as a bug.
