Rear wheel well liners
Has anybody fitted any kind of wheel well liners to the rear?
I was thinking of getting some of the ABS ones for a F150 anf trimming them to fit since they look about the right shape. The Chevy ones are flat across the top. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rlr-wwf15004 This is to protect the underside for the fenders from road debris. |

Re: Rear wheel well liners
Have not thought about those kind of liners. To protect mine I'm using 3M Paint Defender. Two years and about 12K miles, no rock chips, dings, etc. Easily wipes down clean. I did both front and rear wells and the area below the lower moldings.

Re: Rear wheel well liners
I used heavy rubber from a floor mat combined with vinyl push pin molding mounts to fab up liners. Works pretty good. On my Dodge I bought liners that did not fit right a heat gun helped reform them

Re: Rear wheel well liners
Yeah I was thinking about fabbing something up out of mudflap material or something similar. How did the push pins work? Did you drill into the fender at all?

I looked into the same thing you referenced at the top but was afraid of fitment issues. For the front wheel wells we did tap small holes into the bottom lip of the fenders. That material has stayed perfect and really cut down on splashing of dirt and mud onto the underside of the truck.

Re: Rear wheel well liners
I have an F150 with the factory installed fender liners. I compared them visually to my 1970 fleetside fenders and they are not even close to the right shape. I don't think any amount of trimming could make them work.

Re: Rear wheel well liners
Good info, thanks Kennuck.
I guess it's fabrication time! |

My search for liners was because of the large gap in the front where there is a lot of fender exposed. |
