Front bumper splintering? + Wheel well destroyed itself

JARblue · 04-03-2021, 07:58 AM

It's not the liner that gets warped. I've certainly never had any issues in the Texas heat. But the heat does get to the clips and they get brittle and break easily. Typically they'll hold together until you remove them at which point they'll break, but sometimes they'll just break on their own from vibration. I replace clips all the time; I rarely am able to reuse clips I remove but even when I can I go ahead and replace them with new ones. I'm guessing I have probably replaced every clip for the fender liners at least 4-5 times over the life of the car; going on about 15 replacements of those three clips in the middle of the undershroud.

You can get a bag of these clips off of Amazon. Start with a Google search for Courtesy Nissan in Texas, look through the pictures to find the clips, copy down the Nissan part number, then Google the part number. You should be able to find them on Amazon after that.
