And then there's that gap where the lip sticks out a bit at the top.

Any ideas on what I should do? I was thinking of cutting the wheel well sides a bit and maybe screw in from the bottom. someone suggested to heat gun the lip and then stretch it. But I dont know...

i had the same problem.  I just put it on and sanded down the corner that sticks out and re-fiberglassed it to wrap around more smoothly.

thats what i did with my sides. it cracked a little when i put it in there then i put some fiberglass resin in there and called it a day

how long ago was this? Do you see any sign of the crack coming back? I read somewhere on the forum that you should drill holes at the end of the crack to keep it from getting bigger.
