Inner Fender Replacement

Post by sieg01 »

I just got a 2003 Vibe GT and I was getting to some maintenance stuff the previous owner neglected. It looks like he had a few flats and took chunks of both the inner fenders on the front. They were flapping around a bit and the wheels would hit them on hard turns. I ordered some replacement ones from partgeek.com (http://www.partsgeek.com/mmparts/inner_ ... /vibe.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) for what it seems is pretty cheap. I was going to replace them, but I noticed that I think there should be some screws that hold it to the car that is seem to be missing.

Is it something like this??

or this:

Thanks

There are a few types of fasteners on the inner fenders. I know my 10 has the second style in a few places and some screws in others. You can get the push in style at Autozone or other auto parts places much cheaper than on ebay. My Autozone has a box of 25 for like $5-6.

Best idea is to find another 03-08 Vibe and look to see what fasteners it has. You can probably make something work though.

Good luck!

I did find some that hadn't fell off on the fender. They were the push style ones like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-FRONT-FENDER ... _623wt_905" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
