This is basically a plastic piece that sits inside your wheel well, behind the fender. It’s got a few jobs. It protects the engine compartment from road debris – rocks, dirt, water, you name it. It also helps reduce road noise, kind of dampening the sound of things hitting the wheel well. And it helps protect various components—brake lines, wiring harnesses—from damage. Think of it as the first line of defense inside your wheel well. It doesn't actually hold anything structurally, but it acts like a shield for those sensitive parts back there. It’s not something you’ll typically see when looking at the car normally, since it’s hidden behind the wheel and fender. It’s part of the body, specifically tied to the wheel well area. You’ll notice if one of these goes bad, usually. You’ll start hearing more road noise, and you might even see debris accumulating around the wheel well. More seriously, without a fender liner, things can get damaged back there—brake lines rubbing, electrical connections getting corroded. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace compared to the cost of fixing those issues. If it’s cracked, torn, or missing, it’s best to get it sorted out. We—and Fixparts Online has a good selection—carry a bunch of different ones, so we can usually find the exact fit for your vehicle. Reliable performance guaranteed: Fender Liner (MPN 1Q0868851D82V) has a 12-month warranty!
