I have about 2300 miles on my GP3 and there are a bunch of tiny rocks stuck in between the body and the rear fender arches. Has anyone else had this? I tried searching but haven't come up with anything. If so, how do you prevent this and how do you clean them out? Do I have to remove the fender arches? Thanks in advance. Jonathan

This is normal and common for the GP3. All I do is pull my fenders a bit and bang on the car, top to bottom. There are some people on the Facebook group who have put together various gizmo's to prevent it, but I've just dealt with it because it's not that big a deal to me.

Ok thanks. I just don't want them to scratch the paint although it probably already has.

The Rear fenders are backed by a plastic applique so the rocks aren't rubbing directly against the paint. That was a big concern for me until I saw that when I was looking at how to remove the fenders to get plastic behind them.

Not sure when you mean. I don’t drive on gravel.

Spent a good hour here last week picking all the little rocks and gravel. Going to install a thin foam seal on it when i get a chance to pull the fender flares off.
