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 protect your wheels and undercarriage from incoming road debris, protect people and other cars from any rocks that may ricochet off your moving tires, and protect your vehicle if you're involved in a collision or "fender bender."
On quite a few INFINITI models, the fender is made up of a few separate parts, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front). To get more specific, the INFINITI fender splash shield is attached to the wheel well, and sits between the fender and the tire. Fender splash shields are made-to-fit for a particular location on your INFINITI: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. Additionally, they're engineered with respect to the measurements of particular years and models of INFINITI vehicles.
With their carefully chosen position within your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) serves as the first line of defense against damage from debris. For instance, if a tall SUV drives past your car and its tires send a rock into your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) helps prevent the rock from affecting the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your INFINITI. Plus, this shield can provide a barrier for these components from weather, which could prevent premature wear and tear.
As it ages and endures exposure to road salts, rain, ice, and heat, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) may become worn, which compromises its ability to protect the undercarriage of your vehicle. Plus, it can have cracks or chips if you scrape a curb or drive through a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. A broken Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can leave part of your vehicle vulnerable to debris, and it could also create an annoying grinding or tapping sound if a broken piece is pushed up against a tire.
Here's the thing, though: replacing any of the fender splash shields on your INFINITI is easy and inexpensive. You'll need a replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) that will fit on your INFINITI seamlessly, so it's recommended that you purchase a genuine OEM part from INFINITI directly. Depending on your vehicle model and year, the process of installing your new part can vary a bit. Most of the time, you'll just need to have your INFINITI owner's manual, a screwdriver, and some fasteners.
Before you do anything else, start by letting your car cool down. Then, remove the clips and bolts that hold your current fender shield. If you'll be reusing the same ones, set them aside for a few minutes (whenever possible, it's best to use new ones, just in case the old components are worn out). Dry fit the new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) by holding it inside your wheel well, ensuring any holes and rivets match with the ones in your fender. Once everything is aligned, snap or screw the replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) onto your INFINITI! For help with this process, head to a nearby INFINITI service site or dealership.
With a little bit of time and an OEM replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front), you and your INFINITI can be back up to speed with confidence!
