Your INFINITI fender's job is to help in safeguarding your wheels and undercarriage from flying debris, shield pedestrians and vehicles from rocks and pebbles that may ricochet off your moving tires, and protect your vehicle's frame in the event of a roadway accident.

On quite a few INFINITI models, the fender has multiple components, and one of those is the Fender Splash Shield. To get more specific, the INFINITI fender splash shield can be found to the inside of the wheel well, and sits in between the fender frame and your tire. Fender splash shields are custom designed for specific fitment within your car: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. These shields are also made using the exact dimensions of specific INFINITI years and models.

Because of where they're mounted in the wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield is your INFINITI's first line of defense against flying rocks or debris. For example, if a truck speeds past your car and its tires send a rock straight toward your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield helps prevent the debris from bouncing into the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. And, this shield can provide a barrier for these components from weather, which could slow damage or corrosion.

With time and exposure to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your INFINITI produdct_name}} can break down, which compromises the level of protection it can give to your vehicle's undercarriage components. Plus, it can break or detach if you accidentally hit a curb or drive through a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield can leave part of your vehicle vulnerable to debris, and it will likely make a flapping or grinding noise if a piece breaks off and flutters up against a tire.

But, the good news is that replacing one of your INFINITI's fender splash shields is affordable and easy to handle. You'll need a replacement Fender Splash Shield that attaches to your INFINITI seamlessly, so it's wise to order a genuine OEM part from INFINITI directly. Depending on your vehicle model and year, the replacement process may be slightly different. For most vehicles, you'll just need to have 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 bolts and clips that hold your current fender shield. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, stash them in a safe place until you need them again (usually, it's better to go ahead and buy new ones, in case the existing hardware is worn). Dry fit the new Fender Splash Shield by holding it in the appropriate position, ensuring any rivets and holes match with the ones in your fender. Once everything is aligned, screw or clip the replacement Fender Splash Shield onto your INFINITI! If you need help, head to a local INFINITI service center.
