Right running board adjustment
Guys,
I noticed a big gap that is larger than the other side on the front of the running board.
As far as I can see, the 3 anchors are adjusted correctly where it attaches to the pinch welds of the floor. The gap is where the front board lines up to the right front fender, at the bottom edge of the fender. Has anyone messed with the boards and aligned this gap?
Thanks in advance,

Running board out of alignment
Spirited,
I almost missed it when I was double checking my wax job. I had to go to the other side using my fingers as a thickness gauge. Sure enough they fit in on the right side but not left side of the HHR.
I guess that I'll pop back that cover inside the right front wheel well and see how it fits. It is probably a bending that will cure it.
I'll let you know,

Running board adjustment
So today I decided to try and adjust that, larger than normal, gap under the right front fender and running board.
I loosened all of the side fasteners, but did not remove the whole board because I was uncertain. I think that once loose, it slides onto a pin that sticks out of the front fender.
I decided to jack up on the front most support found under the fenderwell. I got some but not all of the excess space out. This was a crude adjustment technique.
I still may try again once I learn how they install.....its a challenge, grrrr!
