DIY Installing a Fender Vent

The fender vent on any vehicle is simply cosmetic. Mechanically, these vents do not serve a purpose on your vehicle. If you would like to install a new fender vent, you can do it with little hassle and minimal knowledge of the automobile. If you do remove the fender vent and do not replace it, you will leave holes in the fender and the vehicle will look like it is missing something. Since this is a stick-on piece, you have a limited time frame and getting it level before the adhesive becomes hard.

Instructions

1

Park your vehicle in a well lit area so the back fender is getting enough light. Turn off the automobile so there is no chance of it moving while you are working on it.

2

Use a plastic wedge to get between the fender and the edge of the vent. If you use a flathead screwdriver, you could scratch the paint.

3

Edge your way around the vent until you loosen it from the adhesive. Pull the vent off of the fender.

4

Add the adhesive to the new fender vent. Make sure that you are not using too much adhesive as it will come out the sides of the vent and adhere to the fender creating a mess.

5

Apply the vent to the fender in the same position as your last vent. Back up after the vent has been installed. Correct any crookedness to the vent, if needed.

6

Use a rag to wipe up any excess adhesive coming off of the vent.
