The same thing happened to me, but I was lucky enough to notice before it burned all the way through. I modified the straps the go over the fender by punching more holes in them so the bags sat up higher, then I drilled holes in the sides of the bags and bought some longer bolts to go through the fender and the bags so that they'd stay anchored.
I can take some pictures and write down the steps of the process if you're interested.
