This vid took me from 20% confidence in fixing this myself, to 100%. Thanks for the evenly paced, detailed explanations. I actually watched this twice - first time without audio LOL and even then I picked up on your directions. Thank you for making this!
You are very welcome. It is reassuring to know that my videos have value in others lives. I hope your repair went well!
Really clear demonstration here with some good tips, thanks!
Thanks, Andy 👍
Awesome! I could never figure out how rivet guns work.. now I do!
I am glad that you found usefulness in my video! Thanks for watching. Perhaps you may like to subscribe?
I like your style brother that made the job
Easy and it holds stronger then ever
Thank you very much! Yes, rivets are the best way to hold those fender liners in. Good luck with your repair!
Thank you. For taking your time to make a video. I've been trying to get my liner on all day with the push pens I had laying around! Heading to store now to pick me up that tool!! Thanks again!
I'm very glad this has helped you. I try to share useful information on my channel and when I hear from viewers like you it is very rewarding. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video! Like others below, I learned a lot! I like how you combined that with the push pin fasteners. Very clever. Thank you for taking the time to post this. Very well done my friend.
Hey, thanks! I was hoping this would be helpful. Thanks for subscribing too. Lots more to come in 2022. Happy New Year!
Very informative and it made me think I could do this. I do not want to remove my wheel/tire so I hope I can do it with it still on. It is my rear splash guards that I hear rattling while I drive on the freeway. I just made a long trip over a 1000 miles and the entire time (when not playing the radio) I could hear the rattle and just knew I might lose one (still have them). I like the rivet idea so I may try that. I'll post how it went later. Thanks. Jim
Thanks Jim. I'm curious to hear how you will make out with the repair. One thing that comes to mind: is there something in the trunk area that is rattling? A screwdriver or something else banging around in there? Just a thought.
Today I learned something! Thank you :)
You are very welcome! I hope this tip comes in handy someday.
Thank you! Exactly what I needed to fix the fender line and bumper on our Subaru Impreza! Great video
Thanks😀 Glad to help
nice idea, thanks for showing this, will do this on my fender line.
Tnanks. This fix works well. Glad you liked it !
Awesome idea. Thank you
Thanks, David! This tip will work on any plastic under a car to keep it up out of the way. Glad you liked it!
Great video💓🐾🐾
I am happy that you are happy! So many cars have these plastic inserts dangling and this fix will tuck them neatly back where they belong. I very much appreciate your kind words!
awesome loved it thank u very much for uploading this
Glad you found it useful and maybe even entertaining. Thanks 😊
Dude thank you so much my bumper was flopping around and used gorilla tape🤣 ur method is the best 🍻 I’m going to get me a rivet gun
Very good news, Glad to hear it. Good luck with your repair!
hel of a better way than the damn push pins .. much thanks
Thank you! The rivets work well and hold strong. Thanks for watching and subscribing !
Great vid. Well explained and shown...I was all serious watching until you spliced in those still pics and I lost it😂...you boosted my confidence and same time eased my nerves with humor. "Well played sir, well played" 👏👍👍
I enjoy finding and inserting funny clips into my videos, it is almost a regular feature. Thanks for appreciating my offbeat sense of humor. All the best to you, and thanks again !
Thumbs up!
Thanks Bob !!
Excellent
Thanks. I hope you will get some use from this information!
@@EverydayProjects is it ok if I drive without one for a while cuz I had to remove one of mine
@@111rr5 These fenderliners are to keep water from splashing directly into the fender and other areas under the car but don't affect the driveability. There is no problem to drive the vehicle with them removed.
Nice job very methodical

Thanks, Joe. This repair is holding up strong and those fender liners on the car haven't budged. I'm glad you found the video useful.
What do you do about the rivets when you have to get the bumper off again in future? Just mangle the plastic, I suppose?
@@misssummersalt Rivets can be drilled out easily, or ground off with a grinder or Dremmel.
Any suggestions on what to do if the surface underneath the fender liner has broken away? I don’t even know what it’s called. A fender liner flange? The flat edge underneath the fender liner has snapped away on my 2019 Kia Sedona, front passenger side.
Perhaps you can mount a few small 90 degree brackets and attach the fender liner to them. A hardware store will have some brackets about 1 1/2 inches wide that you could epoxy to the inside of the fender in several spots then once they have set strong (a few hours) then proceed with attaching the fender liner to them. The area you attach the brackets to inside the fender should be cleaned very well so the epoxy will stick, maybe use some sandpaper then rubbing alcohol (or brake cleaner) to get any dirt off before attaching the brackets. I haven't done this particular repair but with care, it should work. Good luck!
@@EverydayProjects thanks that’s a good suggestion! I took it to a body shop and they said I’d have to get a new front bumper or maybe zip tie the liner to the bumper through a small hole drilled through the outer edge of the bumper. But I like the idea of the 90-degree bracket.
we just got 2004 Acura RL
and we are looking for splash guard/ wheel well lining. right side / passenger side. front.
Try asking at an auto salvage yard or the Acura dealership. Also, Rockauto.com may have some. Best wishes and good Luck !
@Everyday Projects thanks so much for reply and advise!
Can this be done with the tire still on and with splash guard that fell off?
It will be difficult to attach the plastic pieces and operate the rivet gun with the tire still on but maybe, if you turn the wheel to its max, you can do it. Just so long as you can see where the push pins are, they can be replaced and if you need to add a few rivets, then you may be able to do it with the tire on. Best wishes and thanks for asking.
Are the push pins universal or do i need a specific type
There are many types and sizes. The best thing to do is have your car with you at a parts store so you can buy the right size. Best of luck and success to you!
My rear bumper is is loose on the driver side. It’s been that way for over 10 years. But apparently today I must have lost that black piece. Because it’s not there, and after running errands today I kept hearing a tap tap tap as I would drive. We got out and looked at it and it’s the bumper loose corner. When I pushed on it back-and-forth it made that same tapping sound. in the wind while driving it’s tapping on some thing. That’s when I noticed the black piece was gone so I guess my question is what is that black piece called? As for the bumper I’ll figure out something lol
Rockauto.com has just about any car part you can imagine. I think the technical name for the black plastic part is wheel liner or fender liner. Any auto body shop or junkyard would have a way to get you the piece you're missing. I buy all my car parts from Rockauto-they are great! I hope I've helped. Good luck and let me know how you make out with this repair.
@@EverydayProjects a friend of mine bought the part ( liner.) I’ll get it put on next weekend. The bumper isn’t going anywhere lol. At least that’s what my neighbour said.( and his job he takes bumpers off all day, he says I’m good) as for the tapping, there was a plastic screw looking thing that was dangling, from a previous accident I suppose. When I lost the liner the bottom of my bumper cover would flap a bit hitting the dangling screw. It must’ve fallen off though no more tapping. But I will look at the site, because now I need a tensioner pulley replaced. 😩
@@bigrimz2361 I replaced an Idler pulley on my channel last month. It is a similar process on most vehicles. Good luck!
Where can I get the insulators foam at thanks
Any parts store such as Napa will have the parts you need to make this repair.
Hey nice video, I have a problem though my drill won’t even drill through the plastic on the car. I don’t know if the drill isn’t good enough or if I’m doing something wrong.
Probably just a cheap drill bit. Make sure the drill is turning the bit clockwise, some drills have a reverse feature and that won’t allow the bit to cut. Good luck and I wish you luck with the repair.
Thank you I got it!
@@mikeenzo7980 Glad to hear!
Where can i order these from ?
The rivet guns are sold in most hardware stores. They are also available on Amazon as are the push pins and rivets. The best thing to do is speak to someone at an auto parts store, like NAPA and see if they can help you get the rivet gun and pieces you'll need. Best Wishes!
Is it safe to drive with a loose one
Yes, you can drive with these loose because these are trim not structure of the car, but they can interfere with the wheel in some instances or fly off and strike another car. Best to fix them as soon as possible.
I want to buying front fender mudguard Datsun Redigo
Do a google search, I see several. Good luck.
what is the con of not putting plastic guards back in the fender
Water and road junk can get up in there. Also, wind on the highway can start to loosen the plastic bumper covers and start to pull them off.
@@EverydayProjects ahhh ok thnx.
I just use self tapping screws
That works too. Thanks for watching.
Very nice, until the odd but almost certain moment that you have to remove that mud panel and no tool in the world will help you removing that permanent rivet. Thumbs up for the 99% of times that nobody will ever remove that flappy panel ever again. Thumbs up!
True, but rivets can be drilled out and replaced. Some cars have components under these splash guards that may need to be accessed on occasion. Not a one-size-fits-all solution but riveting these in (mostly) will get you back on the road. Thanks for commenting 👍
Went and bought a rivet gun...push pins are a joke
Yes, that's the way to go. Good luck my friend! Don't forget to subscribe--it's free and you'll get to see all the stuff I get up to.
My nissan micra 2016 has a bizzare looking shield it got loose qnd its hitting my tyres problem is the shield is huge compared to the one in the video
They can be all different sizes. If it contacts the wheel, don't drive it until you can get it fixed. Easier said than done if you need the car. Rockauto sells these fender liner (wheel well covers) for most cars. Just have a look on their website. It is rockauto dot com good luck!
@@EverydayProjects what if i just bolt in some screws force em into the skeleton?
@@retardretarded1145 Sure, that might work, Anything to keep those plastic pieces in place. Good luck!
Good idea with the pop.rivittits
Thanks Gary, I found this to be a long-lasting fix. The fender wells on this car are still solid over a year later.
