Recently replaced my header panel and noticed that the headlight bezels no longer sit flush like they did before. I have attached some pictures, the green truck is mine and the bezels and the red one is how it is supposed to sit. Any ideas on what might be causing this? Or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!

 

What is a header panel?

 

it is the plastic piece that goes in front of the core support and holds all of your headlights and grille.

 

You have to draw in on the small 10mm? nuts, to suck that gap up.

 

Your fender is dented, and more than likely the other metal parts are out of alignment as well.

What does your door gap look like?

 

door gap is perfect. I’ll take a picture of it later when I get back to my shop but everything is straight. The fender looks dented but it isn’t. Everything is straight up front.

 

also, didn’t have this issue until after I replaced the header panel.

 

Thanks for clearing that up. See below…

Agree. The metal panels have to be out out of alignment.

 

The 'header panel' is not correct then.
Compare with the old one.

Get a factory one from the junk yard.
More than likely poor quality aftermarket parts, just read a post with your same issue, ...your not the only one.
