How hard is it to replace a rear fender panel on a 95 four door? Looks like the inner fender is slightly damaged too, along with one corner of the bumper.

 

Its pretty easy.

Remove the rear bumper and taillight first.

Then look under the car and you''ll see six or so plastic fasteners securing the rocker panel, remove those. Then pull the rear portion of the rocker panel away from the car. You''ll see on of the bolts that secures the quarter panel (rear fender). Remove it.

With the rear door open, you see a round 1" or so rubber bumper. Its actually a bolt. Using yout Trox bit, insert it into the small hole in the center of the rubber and remove this bolt.

With the rear bumper off, remove the two 10mm nuts that attach the black bracket on the quarter panel to the frame of the car.

With the trunk oper, remove the bolts that attach the quarter panel to the frame along where the trunk lid meets the quarter panel.

With the taillamp removed, look inside you''ll see one or two bolts attaching the quarter panel to the frame.

Remove the quarter panel from the car at thsi point.

 

Thanks Mike, I was worried that the windshield would be involved as well...I take it that is not the case. I hope to do a half decent job on painting and replacing the fender and door panel, as this is my new work car. I appreciate all tips involved with this project. John

 

I wouldnt bother with painting the panels. They can be found at the junkyard already the same color.

What color is your car, I may have what you''re looking for.

 

My car is silver. Bumper is bent as well...I have a left rear door skin already, but the wrong color, so I would be interested in "same color" parts for sure. Again left rear door and left rear fender.

 

Sorry I dont have any silver panels.

I think the actual color for your car is Silver/Plum.
