How To: Remove & Replace Front Fender 2007-2011 Toyota Camry

[@Jakeofalltrades777]

Drawing the fender on the cardboard as a guide for where the bolts go is genius! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@6thGearGarage]

You're welcome! After scratching my head figuring out where all the different screws go on something, I started making a cardboard map and never had that problem again.

My man even put a “fender map” for anyone who misplaced bolt placement…. Your an absolute god

[@6thGearGarage]

I often had extra bolts after the job was done… not since I started using a cardboard fender map 😁

[@KhrisNZ]

I'm not a mechanic by any stretch. It's normally totally out of my wheelhouse. This guide is awesome though and gives me the confidence to do it myself. Absolutely brilliant, thanks!

You spray painted that fender! Thats awesome!

[@luisduran8802]

Thank you! Thanks to my teenage daughter, I was able to change my Driver side Fender on my 2007 Camry after looking at your video. And it looks great! I had to re-run your video like 4 times because I didn't listen to you and do a Screw diagram lol. Keep up the great Job brother! I have to look for your "Paint" tutorial as well because you did a great job with the paint.

[@mellyndakut]

swear this the only video on KZbin about replacing side fenders/panels .

Glad to see it's still helping so many people!

[@kieranstephenson3187]

This is a great video! I particularly love the idea of the fender map, that's very smart!

[@dagmarandersen5682]

Dude. This was so helpful. I have to fix the fender on my car in order to get my driver door to open all the way and i was wondering if i could do it myself rather than go get it done at a shop since I'm short on money. Thank you for doing this

[@jmari6785]

Same problem

[@valerie4294]

literally here for the same reason!

[@tentedalex]

Man This video was detailed and super helpful. My dads tire blew out on the hw at 60mph. Destroyed fender, head light, bumper. and side skirt. Mainly the fender connections. Watching your video i found out that the headlight brackets were also destroyed and that was the most damaged along with the side skirt bolt bent forward. I belive i can straighten out the sideskirt 10mm bolt connection to the new fender. And replace the headlight brakets before installing the new fender.

[@6thGearGarage]

I'm a fan of trying to fix what I have to stay under budget than buy replacement parts new. The gorilla-glued plastic bracket I used was as good as new. Either way, parts are plentiful for Toyota Camry's because there's so many out there. You can find anything you need used on ebay for a fair price.

[@iamgoddesslyl]

How did you straighten it out

[@Makeyoulaughclip]

How much did he pay to get all that fixed because I have a Nissan my front bumper , left tail light & fender , plus my left wheel is damaged from being hit . My bumper is completely off and the tail light is broken how much did he have to pay ?

[@furtalance_x]

Thanks man. Im thinking of buying a camry with fender rust. This video gives me hope that I can do this on my own

[@6thGearGarage]

The most important step will be removing that rust and getting it neutralized.

[@furtalance_x]

@@6thGearGarage well im hoping once i buy it and remove the fender I dont find rust underneath it

[@DanTheManIOM]

@@furtalance_x probably too late now, but look for rust in spare tire, rear of car, under the bumper that is where my 07 went. But really both the 07 and 08 have held up well in terms of rust. I bought the 07 new and ran it like 150K miles or so, it was a good car...better than the 08 and I don't know why. Either way, you keep an eye on oil and freq oil changes, you should be just fine !!

[@furtalance_x]

@@DanTheManIOM I live in Canada so rust in a 10+ yr old car is unavoidable. I did manage to change the fender out thanks to your video (I rust proofed it before installing). So the rest of the car does have rust spots which I will fix on my own next summer.

[@Gabriel-nd3fo]

Its hard to find better videos than yours man. Great job!

[@jodysephus6922]

Great great tutorial. I doing the same exact swap. What paint and clear did you use. Thank you in advance.

[@6thGearGarage]

Here's a video of how I painted the fender: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6qsc4qOjbWdnbc with links to the Duplicolor paint I used in the description. The only thing I recommend is a better clear, such as Spray Max 2k clear: amzn.to/43KbyMK

[@ytfanlingeric]

Although this video was 4 years ago I find it extremely helpful and have subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much! Recently I had my 2013 Camry's front right fender replaced by a garage, but after the fender replacement I found the gap between the front right fender and the bonet is too wide compared with the front left side. After watching your video and heard that you adjusted the fender gap, now I feel confident that I can adjust the fender gap myself. May I ask if there is anything in particular to pay attention to while adjusting the fender gaps? Thank you in advance.

[@6thGearGarage]

After adjusting, close the hood and doors very slowly and carefully while watching the gap, so be sure that nothing contacts the fender if it was adjusted too far.

[@ytfanlingeric]

[@tmiller590]

How do you adjust the fender crack between good, mine looks to wide on both sides. 07 Pontiac Vibe

You need to loosen all the bolts on the top edge of the fender and push it in a little, then re-tighten them.

@@6thGearGarage I wish it was that easy, I did that a bunch of times already. Then it pops out of line in a different spot that was tightened down so don't get how it moved. After market junk, just don't line up with all the holes was the start of all these problems, thanks for your thoughts anyway

[@6thGearGarage]

@@tmiller590 you may have to elongate some of the holes on the fender if the fitment is that bad. Or the car chassis could have been tweaked in an accident.

Jesus Cedillo The back fender is part of the body and is not removable. It would have to be cut out and a new section welded in. The paint looks the same because it was formulated to match the color code of the OEM paint on the car.
