Default Chrome fender piece

I noticed this piece hanging down off the front fender. I was told by the parts guys at my local H-D dealer to use double sided tape or silicone. Anyone else have this issue?? Thanks

According to the parts diagram, the fender trim is secured by three push-on nuts.

The little Peg probably broke off. A new chrome piece is around $60.

All 3 of mine on my deluxe were replaced under warranty at 20 months. I am sure they will brake again, then I will use liquid nails or something

By the way, the trick to installing those push nuts is to use a small socket as a tool to press them on.

My front fender does this too, but not as much as shown in the pic. A small piece of 3M double stick automotive tape may be in my future.

I ordered three of these little babies. I have since had trouble getting them to clip together with the chrome price but as another member mentioned I will use a socked to push the pieces together.

Thanks!!
