Right where the splash guard edge rests on fenders is where it is happening. Too dark for pics will post tomorrow. Will call the dealer on car phone they say sounds fine but no one else can hear me when I call them. This should be fun.

they will probably tell you," that is normal".
seems that if they are rubbing the paint off,they would not be tight.

Are you referring to GM's aftermarket splash guards?

I would like to know what the dealer said about them. Because I'm about to order me some to stop some of the rock chips. Thanks

And did you/they put on the bottom screws where you have to drill holes in your car?

I like mine. At first I wasn't sure about them, but after I put them on I liked them.

Often add-ons like this end up causing more damage than if you just leave things alone. Even a license plate bracket is going to mar the paint enough to show if you ever take it off.
