Found a paint matched fender at Pic-a-Part for under $50. in excellent condition. I will show you how to remove and replace the front fender and will also show how to disconnect the radio antenna as well.

I had someone back into my car while parked in the street in front of my house, then leave without acknowledging what they had done. Your video will go a long way toward my repair.

Regarding the antenna cable, instead of fishing it through the inner fender, you can also disconnect it at the whip. The cable should just pull out of the underside of the antenna base.

@agporsch Жыл бұрын

Excellent video, it helped me quickly replace the passenger side fender on an 02 grand cherokee. I'm curious, do you have any videos on the antenna base assembly itself? I tried removing the nut with the proper 3-prong socket, but the plastic has seemed to mold/fuse with the nut. I basically mangled the antenna base assembly trying to remove it, and can no longer secure the antenna to the new fender. I tried going to the junk yard to get a replacement antenna base, same problem. Thanks for any tips/links you can provide.

I had a little ding like that on the gas tank of my Triumph Tiger TR6, I looked at it every day for 5 years. My eyes were always drawn to it. It drove me nuts but I didn't want to Bondo and repaint the tank from the original metallic green which were identical to the fenders. I never would have matched the fenders and then THAT would have driven me nuts. Dings are very annoying.

@martinbuilt 3 жыл бұрын

I feel your pain, I could have just bought a new or used fender that didn't match but then I would have to get it painted and that would be at least $200 so with a little patience it paid off.

Check the header panel for breaks in the plastic this could cause the headlight to move and cause that gap.
