Driver's side Tail Light Guard Rubbing?

[fowlken8]

So the guards look great. Passenger side, although a little loose doesn't rub.

Driver's side though....rubs the whole way. I have to push it away from the door to open or close it without metal on metal contact. I have seen another thread on this but the guy just said he was going to weld new brackets...there has to be a better way?

The tail light housing and light guard do move a little now post installation. I can push the guard and light in and away from the door. Not sure what to do?

Years ago...I got some anchors and thicker screws to mount them on my old H3....I forget who told me to do this and why...or even which ones I got. I didn't have this problem though.

Mine does the same thing and I don't know why.

haha dammit. Don't say these things. It isn't bent or messed up. They were new. It's like the "mold" was just a little bit off. I thought about taking it off, and trying to bend it somehow, but I'm sure I'll do something slightly wrong. I don't want to heat it and ruin the powdercoating and have to rustoleum rattle can it either. Maybe this is an instance of quit bittching and be happy. Unless someone else has any ideas?

....I am going to use drywall anchors and screws on the tailight housings. I did that on my first H3. It all worked then.
