4.8is Flares Fell Off... WTF??? Please HELP!

[cruzin420]

As you all know, I recently purchased a 04' 4.8is.... I had the dealer throw in the aluminum running boards for free. Anyways, As i was getting out of the car today, I opened the rear, drivers side door to get my bag, and i accidently bumped in to that rear, left side flare... and the freakin thing fell off. I looked on the backside of the flare, and all i saw was dried up glue.... Now WTF!!!!!!!!! So i went to the other side and tried tugging on the right side flare....Same thing happened. It fell off!!!

Let me back track real quick. Prior to me buying the car, I told the dealership that I would only buy it if they threw in the aluminum running boards for free. DEAL!!! However, they told me that the boards do not fit 4.6 or 4.8 models... Basically, X5's with flares do not work in conjunction with the running boards. So I was like...WTF... I know ive seen them before in person and on this kick butt forum. So i insisted that they put them on. DONE.... When I came back to the dealership after they had installed the boards, My guy tells me that he was right. The boards are not made for X5's with flares. They had to "Tweak" it out in order for the boards to fit. At that point I didnt want to argue with the guy. I had my X, and it had the boards.... Excellent!!!! Then the above metioned happened. What do you guys think???? Are they full of crap or do the boards really "Dont Fit"? If so, Any suggestions I can take back to dealer in order for them to install it correctly. Did they just install new 4.4/3.0 plastic wheel well coverings that connect to the boards and then cut off my existing flares and just glue them on or what? I dont know what to think...Please help a Brutha out!!!!
