Was the car in an accident? If it was it could have bent the metal, and therefore bent the mounting holes causing it to flex.

I have the same problem with mine. Just like yours, passenger side only. I think it needs tucked back into the hardware.

agreed. the bolts are maybe rusted out, or they need to be tightened.

Mine dose the same thing not as much on the nose. I took the gfx off on the door and I seen nothing holding it out. It mabey due to old age and crappy plastic.

I had the lower ground effects bowed out on the front of my 84 TA....the only way I could get it to lay flat was to drill holes from behind, and use sheet metal screws to "pull" it flat. it worked for me.....
