The fender is bolted to the vehicle. Open the hood, remove the headlight assembly, remove the cowl at the base of the windshield. From that point, remove the bolts at the top of the inner fender, there is one under the back side of the fender, behind where the headlight assembly was mounted, and open the door to acce******** there. Next, remove the inner fender where it attaches to the fender. NOTE: If you are removing the passanger's side, you will also need to remove the antenna. Reverse procedure to replace and align the fender before fully tightening any of the bolts.
