Front wheel arch liner falling apart.

Is this a common problem? Can these be obtained easily for a 2006 STR?
Thanks!

LF on the 05 done-in by the wife and a pc. of rebar protruding some inches from the parking stop at Florida beach merchant. Other side ok, both on the 03 are fine....

Obtained a replacement from the dealer for somewhere around a hundred.

They don't fall apart. They break when smashed against a solid object!!

The S Type has small air spoilers in front of the front wheels that are molded into the wheel arch liner. As was posted above if you smack parking bumpers you will break these pieces of plastic off. Very common to happen.

These air spoilers are on most other cars too. Check out a parking lot sometime.
