How to glue a loose car wheel arch?

You can either design and create your own or purchase repair stickers to cover the scratched wheel arch. You can also buy universal car carbon fiber pattern wheel arches online and stick them on the wheel arch, which can both cover the scratches and provide protection. Specialized equipment will be used to sand and polish the car wheel arch.
I'm the kind of person who enjoys tinkering with my car, so when I encounter a loose wheel arch liner, I handle it myself. First, clean both the loosened wheel arch liner and the car body surface thoroughly. You can use alcohol wipes or a cleaner to remove grease and dust, ensuring the bonding surface is dry and free of debris. Then, choose a specialized automotive adhesive, such as 3M epoxy resin glue or strong double-sided tape, both of which work well. Apply the adhesive in a thin, even layer, avoiding excessive application to prevent overflow. Align the wheel arch liner and press it firmly into place, then secure it with tape or weights, allowing it to cure completely for at least overnight. Remember to do this in a garage or a shaded area to avoid interference from wind or rain. I've tried this method a few times, and it holds up quite well. After completing the repair, take a short drive to test its stability and check if other wheel arch liners have similar issues. Actually, paying attention to these details during regular car maintenance can save a lot of trouble.
