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 protect your undercarriage and wheels from flying debris, shield nearby people or other vehicles from small pebbles that may bounce off your moving tires, and protect your vehicle's frame in the event of a roadway accident.

In many INFINITI models, the fender has a few separate parts, including a Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). Specifically, your INFINITI's fender splash shield is attached to the wheel well, and sits between the fender and the tire. Fender splash shields are custom designed for specific fitment within your INFINITI: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. They're also designed for use in particular years and models of INFINITI vehicles.

With their carefully chosen position in the wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) serves as your outermost layer of defense against damage from debris. For instance, if a truck drives past your vehicle and its tires send a rock straight toward your wheel well, your trusty Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) helps prevent the object from getting stuck in the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. Additionally, this shield can provide a barrier for these components from outside elements, which can help slow corrosion and wear.

With time and exposure to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can degrade, which negatively affects its ability to protect your vehicle's undercarriage components. Additionally, it may break or detach if you scrape a curb or drive over a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. When broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it will probably make a scraping or flapping noise if a broken piece is pushed against the nearby tire.

Here's the thing, though: installing a replacement for your INFINITI's fender splash shields is affordable and easy to handle. You want a new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that fits your INFINITI perfectly, so it's a good idea to buy a genuine OEM part from INFINITI directly. Depending on your specific vehicle, the steps for installation may be slightly different. Most of the time, you'll need a screwdriver, fasteners, and your INFINITI owner's manual.

Before you do anything else, start by letting your car cool down. Then, remove the clips and bolts from the fender shield on your vehicle now. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, set them aside for a few minutes (typically, 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, checking to be sure that all holes and rivets match 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, visit your nearest INFINITI retailer or authorized service center.
