Apparatuses, systems, and methods for accommodating relative movement between a vehicle body and a vehicle frame. An apparatus includes a flexible member attaching a tire catcher cover to a fender liner. The flexible member surrounds a perimeter of the tire catcher cover. The flexible member can seal a gap between the tire catcher cover and the fender liner. The flexible member can temporarily deform in response to relative movement between the vehicle frame and the vehicle body. The tire catcher cover can be mounted to a tire catcher and may move together with the tire catcher and the vehicle frame with respect to the fender liner. The fender liner can be mounted to a vehicle fender and may move together with the fender and the vehicle body with respect to the vehicle frame.
