i got a new fender from D&h auto parts for my 87 camaro and i put it on first thing i noticed was that the was nit sitting right the bottom tab lines up with the one on the body but none of of the body lines line up they are a half inch up fron the ones oon the door any ideas how to get it to sit right? the door did just get a new pin for the botton. Do you bolt the bottom first or the top first?

If it's aftermarket then you probably need to cut out the brace at the rear of the fender and reposition it. The one I got was just like you described.

its an aftermarket reproduction were would i cut it

Drill out the spot welds from the rear bracket inside the fender then reweld it in the right place.

i laid the two fenders together and i see what you mean by it being caused by the brace the brace is in the wrong place

Can't remember how I determined where to put it. May have tacked it then checked and adjusted. Couldn't complain about quality when it was 40 bucks.

Sure you can. A replacement part is supposed to be just that, a replacement. If you can't replace your old part with the new part, then the manufacturer needs to fix it. If everybody keeps cutting and re welding, you're giving the manufacturer good money for a crap product that they won't fix!

I'll take a truck load of aftermarket fenders that fit anything perfect for 40 bucks a piece. I average using 1 or 2 aftermarket sheet metal parts a week. They have gotten better over the years but still are not exact to OEM. With the bankruptcies auto manufacturers have switched suppliers and you may even get a aftermarket brand in a OEM box. After a while if it can be made fit, you do it. It doesn't pay to send parts back and forth. As been stated before, even the OEM parts are factory rejects for some reason or another. For 40 bucks, drilling out and replacing 6 or 7 spotwelds to get a decent looking fender ain't bad.

Do you by any chance have an ip adress as to where you bought the fender?
