    I noticed that the edge of the gray "bracket" that holds the flat body panels on the bottom of the body behind the doors is separating from the rest of the bracket allowing the bodywork to move when it should be stationary.

    The truck is a 2015 that is only a year old with 111383 miles on it.

    Ive talked with other drivers in our fleet that have also had this problem.

    I'm just wondering how widespread this issue is. It seems to be either a design flaw or bad parts.

    Have you had this issue with your 780?

    If that is the part I think it is, it is made of fiberglass.

    Could be poor quality or it may have dragged on the ground if the truck went through a really big/deep pothole in a gravel lot or something.

    Mine doesn't have the issue but I've had to add some self tapper screws through the bottom of the fairing to secure to the plastic/composite bar, to keep it from shaking.
