Where is the rear fender lining？
The inner lining of the rear fender is arranged between the rear fender, the bottom plate, the rear coaming plate and the shock absorber seat, and is connected by a welding relationship.
The rear fender lining is a part of the automobile structure, and it is connected with the rear fender, bottom plate, rear coaming plate and shock absorber seat by welding relations. This structural position is generally covered by a cover or interlining, so it is not easy to observe when buying a used car. However, if there is an impact on the outer fender, the probability of injury to the rear fender is higher. However, this has little impact on driving safety, as long as the appearance is properly repaired, the impact is not large when selling cars in the later period.
In addition, the fender lining not only includes the front fender lining and the rear fender lining, but also involves the strengthening and tightening function, and the protective effect of auxiliary structural parts on the interior personnel and interior components. The front fender linings are welded/connected to the stringer, shock absorber seat and tank frame. While the position and function of the front and rear fender linings vary, the front fender linings are usually more easily observed as they are located in the engine underguard or at the deflector under the front bumper.
How to remove the rear fender lining
The steps to remove the rear fender liner mainly involve using jacks to support the chassis, removing the tires, and then removing the screws or clasps holding the fender liner in place. Note the following points during disassembly:
First, use a jack to support the chassis of the vehicle, and then remove the tires. This is to provide sufficient working space to more easily access and operate the fixed parts of the fender lining.
Next, you need to remove the screws or clasp holding the leaf liner in place. These screws or clasps are usually located on the edge of the leaf liner and can be picked out using a special tool or a flat-head screwdriver. It should be noted that when removing the leaf liner, be careful to avoid damaging other parts of the vehicle.
If the inner lining of the fender is not only fixed by screws, but also partly fixed by fasteners, it is necessary to remove all screws and then carefully remove them with flexibility. Note that the inner lining of the fender is very thin, and it is easy to cause damage when disassembled. Some long-used car fender linings may become brittle, and more care is needed at this time.
When carrying out disassembly, ensure the safety of the working area and use appropriate tools to avoid unnecessary damage to the vehicle. If you do not have professional tools or lack of experience, it is recommended to go to the 4S shop or auto shop for disassembly.
The solution to the rust of the rear fender lining mainly includes two strategies: local repair and total replacement, , but local repair is usually recommended. When the inner layer of the rear fender is not damaged, the overall replacement is not only a large project, may involve the removal of the rear windshield, rear seat, trunk interior and other parts, causing unnecessary trouble and cost increase. partial repair methods include cutting, welding, sanding, glazing, smoothing, and spray painting of the deformed section. this can restore function and appearance without replacing the entire rear fender. In addition, if the sheet metal worker has parts left over from previous replacement, can even make direct use of these parts to repair, further reducing costs and improving efficiency. , however, it should be noted that this partial repair method may require additional maintenance in the years to come, such as adding putty to prevent the paint from popping or creating cracks, but this is usually a later consideration.
