    Replacing the passenger side front fender on a 2008 Prius.

    I have removed the headlight assembly

    I have completely removed the old fender.

    I am now ready to put a replacement OEM fender on the car. I am having a very difficult time getting this thing on properly.

    Thought I broke the plastic rod that the inside of the fender attached to however it's fine

    What is the proper way to install this?

    Also the bumper is not fully removed. I have peeled it back to the point where I could access the bolts I needed.

    I'm not going to fully removed it. Thinking am extra hand might be helpful on this one.

    Regardless some help would be great.

    Thanks

    If you peeled the bumper back it will probably need the black plastic strip that the bumper holes hook onto. That plastic piece gets very fragile over the years. have had the bumper off a few times and it always breaks the hooks on that piece. But I live in high heat area so maybe your strip will be ok.

    Have not had the fender off though. Where's it stuck front or back?
