PROTCT FND L. Protector FR.
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 the wheels and undercarriage components from incoming road debris, protect nearby people or vehicles from rocks and pebbles that may ricochet off your spinning tires, and protect your vehicle in the event of a roadway accident.

For some INFINITI models, the fender consists of several distinct parts, and one of those is the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front). Specifically, your INFINITI's fender splash shield is mounted to the wheel well, and creates a barrier between your tire and the rest of the fender. Fender splash shields are custom designed for a particular location on your INFINITI: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. Additionally, they're engineered using the exact dimensions of particular years and models of INFINITI vehicles.

Due to their positioning on your vehicle, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) serves as the first line of defense from damage from debris. As an example, if a truck speeds past your vehicle and its tires send a rock straight toward your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can help prevent the rock from affecting the brakes, headlight or tail light assemblies, or undercarriage. Plus, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) may offer protection for those parts from outside elements, which can help delay damage or corrosion.

Over time, when exposed to road salts, rain, ice, and heat, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) may become worn, which compromises the level of protection it can give to your vehicle's complex systems. Additionally, it may break or detach if you scrape a curb or drive through a sizable pothole. A broken Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) exposes your vehicle to dangerous debris, and it could also create an annoying grinding or tapping sound if a broken piece is pushed against the tires.

But, the good news is that replacing any of your INFINITI's fender splash shields is affordable and easy to handle. You'll need a replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) that fits your INFINITI without any gaps, so it's wise to buy an authentic part from INFINITI Parts. Depending on your specific vehicle, the steps for installation may be slightly different. In most cases, you'll just need to have a screwdriver, fasteners, and your INFINITI owner's manual.

Before you do anything else, start by giving your car a few minutes to cool. Then, remove the bolts and clips that are attached to the old fender shield. If you're planning to reuse the fasteners, set these small pieces aside (typically, it's best to purchase new fasteners, in case your old hardware has been damaged). To test the fit of your new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front), set it in the appropriate position, ensuring any rivets and holes line up with the ones in your fender. After you've aligned everything, screw or clip the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) into place and secure it! For professional installation, head to a nearby INFINITI service center.
