How to Install Front Fenders?
2 Answers
Clean the area where the fender needs to be installed with a damp cloth to facilitate removal. When installing the fender, remove the corresponding screws from the original vehicle body. Place the fender in the corresponding position on the vehicle, align it properly so that the outer edge of the fender is parallel to the outer edge of the tire. Secure it with the dedicated screws and tighten them.
I recently installed a front fender by myself, and the process went quite smoothly. First, find a flat surface to park your car and prepare a Phillips screwdriver and gloves. The fender usually has pre-drilled holes; align it with the holes above the front wheel and lay it flat. Don't rush to tighten the screws immediately—hand-tighten them a few times after aligning the position, then use the tool to slowly tighten them. Control the force to avoid cracking the plastic. It took me 20 minutes to finish. After installation, gently shake the fender to check its stability. If everything is fine, take it for a test drive—the improvement in rainy conditions is noticeable. Remember to choose a fender that fits your car model and comes with washers for easier alignment, saving you time on adjustments. Simple tools and a little time can protect your car from mud splashes—it's worth doing and adds some fun to DIY. Beginners, don't be afraid—give it a try boldly!
