Just got done with trimming my liners on the front. Are we not worried about water getting behind the fender in the areas we cut off? I realize it’s a small area for water and road grime to get, just asking if I should undercoat underneath the fender to prevent corrosion or is it not an issue?

I think it is a small enough area to not be a big concern. I guess you could put something in there but you’d have to pull the liner off to do it. Seems like a bit of a pain but if you daily it may be worth it.

Manga, just wanted to say thanks for this thread! Used your DIY to relocate my rear bumper tab. Owned my S for a month now but after adjusting the rear height, its like I'm looking at an entirely different car!

Second round of tips! This time focused on the rear!
The rear fenders are much stronger than the fronts which means it takes a bit more muscle to roll them but they aren't so fragile. When I do a car I usually start with the rear and then do the fronts.
For the rear you really only need the top part of the fender to be rolled. In this pic where my figure is is where I stop. The reason for this is at that point there is more metal and it becomes nearly impossible to roll more. It is also out of the way of the wheel.

Start off slow pushing the lip so it is perpendicular to the fender.

I usualy adjust the head of the roller 3-4 times to get it flat. As you can see it is getting much flatter here.
This is pretty much done. Feel the inside to see if there is any where that the lip is still not flat against the inside. The goal is to make it so there isn't an easy spot for the tire to grab.

Just keep the fender hot (and when I say hot I mean hot enough it hurts to touch it) and work it in sections.
