NEED HELP fender rolling sc300
So I was rolling the rear fenders first and I stopped once I noticed this. Where the screws used to be holding the liner in along the fender lip, they don't roll evenly, not sure why but you can see it in the pics. My fenders aren't wavy and there's no paint cracks but it looks uneven.
You can see in the second picture where the screw was and then there's that little dip right below it, it's on every spot where there used to be a screw

It's really hard to avoid that imo. Some people just shave the rears instead. And people like me who just shoved a pole because I broke an east wood roller trying to pull lol. Remember to hammer those nips above the rolled lip to get more tire clearance!

Thanks man ill try to work on it a little more but do you know if its the same issue in the front? And would hammering the top part damage the quarter panel at all?
No it wouldn't, at least not with mine, I gave up at one point cause it was really tiring. (I went at it for a while with a sledge). To be honest. I forgot how the front was. I remember at the body line part it got a little messed up but if you're careful it shouldn't be a problem. Go slow with the front and take your time with the heat gun. The metal for the front fenders are easier to work with.

did u remove all of the inner pieces that the screws are supposed to screw into? You remove the lining and then you need to remove the female part where the screws go into.
looks like u did but just making sure

Yea I did do that, I'm not sure why it's not rolling evenly though, is it thicker metal on those spots or what? I might pull it back out, cut those parts and roll again
yea man the metal is probably less resistent there or something, i think most times when people pull they end up having to do a little body work after to get it perfectly smooth.
Good luck, i never used the eastwood roller so I have no advice to help.

I found out, after rolling mine with the Eastwood, the rears are much easier and came out perfect for me. The fronts are a different story. They buckled a bit where the screw holes were and I couldn't get them completely flat. My suggestion is to roll the rears and shave the fronts. That will be my course of action the next time I go at it with another SC.

To OP, I had those dimples on the rear. I ended up doing a slight pull to clear my new wheels and they went away. Put the roller at about 12 degree and pull it slightly. You'll get an even amount of pull against the edge. Right now your just pushing the lip up and thats causing it to pull that tab up. Good luck

I would do the opposite. If you shave the front, it'll weaken the fender. You'll buckle it up when the wheel rubs against it.
