front right fender replacement... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi all! I have a quick question...need to replace the front right fender of my yaris hatchback. I have the fender already, in the process of getting it painted but I got to looking and it looks like a days worth of work, but figured I could put it on myself. Anyone else ever done/attempted this before? Does it just pop off and pop on with a few screws? I noticed I might have to take the mirror off too. Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!!!

A bit more than a few screw but its a fairly simple process all you need to do is R&I the front bumper, the right headlight and the cap in the corner of the fender.

I havent worked on a one in a while but,

Bumper: philips in each corner, push in clips along the bottom and under the hood.

Headlight: probably 3-4 10mm bolts

Fender Cap: 3 clips, Should pop on and off. If you dont have many tools. Instead of flathead I'd suggest using a stiff kitchen knife and wrap it with masking tape then pry in the corners.

Fender: 10mm all around.

Then transfer over the bumper retainer etc from the old fender.

Make sure all your gaps are good, you dont want to slam the hood or open the door into the fender or you'll be repainting it over again.
