Can a dent in the rear fender be repaired? Introduction to fenders: The fender is the outer body panel that covers the wheels, named for its resemblance in shape and position to bird wings on older car bodies. Based on installation location, they are divided into front fenders and rear fenders. The front fender is installed at the front wheel and must ensure the maximum space for wheel rotation and movement. Therefore, designers use "wheel movement diagrams" based on the selected tire model and size to verify if the fender's design dimensions are appropriate. Precautions for rear fender repair: Confirm the cutting range—avoid cutting too much or too little, generally erring on the larger side, but be careful not to damage the inner lining or interior trim. When fitting the new part, pay attention to the alignment and overall aesthetics with the rear windshield, rear door, rear bumper, rear hood, and rear taillights, ensuring a perfect fit and a clear understanding of the process. Temporarily secure the part in all directions (up, down, left, right, front, and back). During welding, monitor for immediate deformation, especially when welding two or more surface joints. Remember to weld while observing and pay attention to welding techniques to avoid thermal expansion and contraction affecting the overall result, which could lead to irreversible errors.
