Sorry to bump this but, I need to replace my fender as well. Got a new set of fenders from the dealer, got it painted, now I need to remove my fender and install the new one.

I tried tonight, but I couldn't take it out. Maybe I didn't take out a few bolts? Anyone have an experience with this?

u probably missd a couple bolts. I think theres like 10. two-three up top in engine bay..two more when u remove the front bumper near the headlamp.

remove the wheel well liner and u will see more bolts where the door meets fender. U will need a small ratchet with extension to get those 10mm bolts out.

after all bolts are out, the fender will practicaly fall off afterwards.

Yep took these out. Took off the bumper

The one on the inner side where you have to open the door to get access to, and the one that gets covered by the trd/wings west side skirt right?
I have WW sides as well. I couldn't even move the upper part near the hood/headlight more than half an inch.
