How to Remove the Fender Liner?
1 Answers
Method for removing the fender liner: Use a jack to support the chassis, then remove the tire, unscrew the bolts or clips securing the fender liner, and finally detach the fender liner. The fender liner is very thin and can be easily damaged if excessive force is applied during removal, so caution is required. For older vehicles, the fender liner may become brittle over time, making it more prone to breakage during forceful removal. The fender, also known as the wing panel, is the outer cover of the wheel. Its purpose is to ensure the maximum clearance for front wheel rotation and bouncing, reducing the drag coefficient. The fender liner effectively reduces road noise entering the cabin, blocks mud and stones thrown by the rotating tires from damaging the chassis and fender, and decreases the chassis drag coefficient. If your vehicle has excessive tire noise, replacing the fender liner with a better sound-insulating version can significantly reduce tire noise.
