The rocker has a fastener that secures it to the fender. Did you remove that? Between that and the screws that keep the fender onto the wheelwell there's still a couple points that pull it back into its bad shape.

Damn you Midwestern weather!!!!
The treatments they put on the roads sure take there toll on the cars. Sometimes it helps to use mud flaps all around and when I drive the thing in real bad weather I will wash it as good as I can. I do have a Garage to put it in so that helps too. Good luck,
