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 help in safeguarding your undercarriage and wheels from incoming road debris, protect pedestrians and other vehicles from rocks and pebbles 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 several distinct parts, including a Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). Specifically, your INFINITI's fender splash shield can be found to the inside of the wheel well, and is situated in between the fender frame and your tire. Fender splash shields are custom designed for a particular location on your car: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. They're also made with respect to the measurements of specific INFINITI years and models.

Because of where they're mounted on your vehicle, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can be your outermost layer of defense against incoming debris and contamination. As an example, if a truck speeds beside your INFINITI and kicks a rock up into your wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can help prevent the rock from affecting the brakes, headlight or tail light assemblies, or undercarriage. And, this shield can provide a barrier for these components from outside elements, which could prevent premature wear and tear.

With time and exposure to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can break down, losing its ability to protect your vehicle's complex systems. Keep in mind, it may also break or detach if you hit a curb by accident or smash into a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can leave part of your vehicle vulnerable to debris, and it will probably make a scraping or flapping noise if a piece breaks off and flutters against the tires.

But, the good news is that replacing one of the fender splash shields on your INFINITI is inexpensive and simple to do. You need a Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that attaches to your INFINITI without any gaps, so it's recommended that you buy a genuine OEM part from INFINITI directly. Depending upon what model and year you have, the steps for installation can vary a bit. For most vehicles, you'll need the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.

Begin by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Then, remove the clips and bolts that hold the old fender shield. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, set these small pieces aside (whenever possible, it's best to purchase new fasteners, in case the existing hardware is worn). To test the fit of your new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front), set it inside your wheel well, carefully checking that all holes and rivets line up the holes on your fender. Once you're confident about the placement, bolt or snap the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) into place and secure it! For professional installation, visit your nearest INFINITI retailer or authorized service center.
