Hey all,
Im sure this'll be a no-brainer for y'all so appreciate the assistance.
Yesterday when walking through a doorway a door bumped into the left side of the rear end of my bicycle. Afterwards the fender is constantly leaning left, rubbing the right side of my tire.
I tried to screw/unscrew and move the fender/rear fender mounts and that didnt seem to do much.
Right now I just have the rear attachment between the fender and cargo rack removed but thats just a temporary "solution" until I can remedy this.
Any simple ideas/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Aside from adjustments you’ve tried – You can likely bend the metal a bit, probably away from the direction it got hit inward.
Have it firmly mounted and then just pull it in the opposite direction. Start small. If this doesn’t work you can definitely bend it unmounted but I’d be slow, and gradual. You don’t want to stress it too much or go too far.
Bend or flex the struts so that it stops.
A little elbow grease should do the trick. Bend ‘er back where she came from.

Slacken or tighten the screws on this part to adjust position. Re tighten but not too tight.

You just need to try harder, all that is left is a simple adjustment. Loosen the top part of the fender mount, that holds the sides in place.
I am curious what bike this is
