Protector Fender.
Fender Splash Shield.

• Located between the fender and the tire
• Helps shield your vehicle from small rocks and other road debris
• Replace when cracked or broken

On your INFINITI, the fender can provide protection for your undercarriage and wheels from debris on the roadway, shield people and vehicles from any rocks that may bounce off your tires, and minimize damage to your vehicle in the event of a collision or "fender bender."

In many INFINITI models, the fender is made up of a few separate parts, and one of those is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). Specifically, the INFINITI fender splash shield is attached to the inside of the wheel well, and is situated between your tire and the rest of the fender. All fender splash shields are tailor-made to fit only in certain locations on your car: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. Additionally, they're engineered using the exact dimensions of specific INFINITI years and models.

With their carefully chosen position in the wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) is your INFINITI's first line of defense against incoming debris and contamination. As an example, if a truck speeds past your car and its large tires throw a pebble straight toward your wheel well, your trusty Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) helps prevent the debris from getting stuck in the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your INFINITI. Additionally, the shield can offer protection for those parts from weather, which can help slow wear and tear.

As it ages and endures exposure to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can break down, losing its ability to protect your vehicle's complex systems. Plus, it can crack or break if you accidentally hit a curb or drive over a sizable pothole. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can leave part of your vehicle vulnerable to debris, and it will likely create an annoying scraping or flapping noise if a broken piece is pushed up against a tire.

But, the good news is that installing a replacement for your vehicle's fender splash shields is inexpensive and simple to do. You need a Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that will fit on your INFINITI without any gaps, so it's recommended that you order an authentic part from INFINITI Parts. Depending upon what model and year you have, the steps for installation may be slightly different. For most vehicles, you'll need a screwdriver, fasteners, and your INFINITI owner's manual.

Before you do anything else, start by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Next, remove the clips and bolts from your current fender shield. If you'll be reusing the same ones, set them aside for a few minutes (typically, it's advisable to purchase new ones, in case the existing hardware is worn). To test the fit of your new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front), set it in the appropriate position, carefully checking that all holes and rivets are aligned with the holes on your fender. Once everything is aligned, snap or screw the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) into place and secure it! For professional installation, stop by your nearest INFINITI retailer or authorized service center.

With a few tools and a made-to-fit Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front), your beloved INFINITI can hit the road again with peace of mind!
