I found a couple of threads that discussed the problem with the black plastic fender flares on the Tab Boondock /Outbacks. It can be difficult to remove a wheel and tire because the flares block access to the fender well.
Has anybody tried to trim the flares? It looks like they could be trimmed below the keter track to the bottom of the flare. There’s one screw inside the fender well that supports that portion of the flare, which would no longer be needed.
the bottom corners.

the flare. Like you said, just the area where they overlap the tires.
