1M front fender liner fix?

I'm aware BMW would change the revised fender liners when the car was under warranty but has anybody tried to modify them with a heat gun?

I tried to have the dealer replace them under CPO but they refused. I may just order them from ECS (on sale for $150 for the pair).

Thanks!

That's correct, rubbing issue as I am running 255/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sports.
