Default Fender lower trim sticking out

Hi Guys
I noticed my front fender lower (mudflap) trim is sticking out. Any ideas how to correct it. Bike is still under warranty but I don't trust dealers one bit as they always mess things up (at least locally)

Here are some pix

I'm going to go out on a limb and take a guess that they're all like that.

Here's mine:




I don't know about everyone else, but there are a lot of things about these bikes as far as fit and finish that have me shaking my head.

Indeed, that thing could put your eye out.

Is there any other trim
/skirt that can be installed on this fender to fit properly?

just so you know that piece is plastic not metal, they are prone to cracking in the middle of the backside of the fender, I have had a couple crack on and they where replaced under warranty.

What I see as flaw in design is that there is no mounting point closer to edge of this trip which will allow better fitting. Not sure how this thing is attached to fender at all in fact.
