Need some info on inner plastic fender wells
Anyone have a detailed picture of how the inner plastic fender wells mount to the fenders? My car never had fender wells to begin with and I ordered some last summer. I've been trying to figure out of the plastic goes on the top or bottom of the fender lip and what type of fasteners to use to attach them. Any information would be great.

There are a few 7MM screws that hold them in on the bottom. The rest are your basic push type fasteners ( you might not have the holes if your car wasn't equipped from the factory

Re: Need some info on inner plastic fender wells
Every thirdgen has plastic inner fenders. I drove with out mine while I was refinishing them and I had road grime all in my hinge area. I would advise getting them put on. Like Iron Duke said. Its plastic push type fastners along the fenderwell. The fastners go through the plastic first. I would think it would be hard to install it vice versa because the plastic would have no backing.

I took mine off and broke most of the fasteners. If you need the fasteners search eaby for "50 Plastic Rivet Mud Skirt GM 14019205 Chrys 34201621 "
and it will get you 50 for 7 bucks. They worked great and were way cheaper then some of the 3rdgen dealers asking for these fasteners.
