Stupid mistake!
Hello guys,
So I came home last night from picking my car up over 1800 miles away (thanks @GearheadSS!). Nice drive, nothing bad happened along the way thankfully! But today as I was giving the car a much needed bath, I stupidly hit the driver side canard with my knee Besides it hurting like a bitch (I’ll live!), it appears the top clip either came off, or something broke. A picture so you see what I mean: From other posts, it appears it’s possible to access the back side by turning the wheel and removing the liner. So I’ll be looking at that very soon, and possibly order any necessary part if something indeed broke. Wish me luck Geoff |

there is a clip that goes into the slot through the back of the bumper cover. you can order them online.
I had the same thing happen to me, but I dont have any left to show a picture. I think I had to remove the front of the fenderwell cover.

Awesome, thanks guys! Also, it’s good to know I wasn’t the only one this happened to!

There next to the side marker you will see there the tap goes. They are white. Hopefully that was what broke. If the dive plane tab broke too, you will have to order the dive plane as well.. Good luck. They aren't crazy expensive and it is an easy fix. Even taking out the whole tabs for the dive plane. I wonder if the tab for the dive plane broke, can you find the piece inside the fender? You could JB weld it back in place. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

If Greenville Texas had sold that ZLE to me, I would've been more gentle with it!
JK, I figure as much driving that you did, you were probably just really wanting to get inside the house, which I don't blame you. When I went to get my SS Sedan, I drove 11.5 hours to Iowa, took 1 hour for paperwork, and then drove back 11.5 hours. I only had 2 monster energy drinks with me for the entire 24 hour ordeal. My only stops were for gas. I can't even remember how I made it home, but I'm sure glad that the SS Sedan didn't have the hardware that the ZLE has, or I probably would've snapped a piece or two. Congrats on the new ride! Be gentle with her! |

You broke the tab on the canard. The little white clip should still be in your wheel well. I did the same thing on my Passenger side a year ago. You can get to all the clips by pulling back the fender liner. It is way easier if you take the wheel off first rather than just turning the wheel. I ordered a replacement canard and swapped it out. I now have a carbon fiber set on the car so my plastic ones are backups.
