So I got this huge dent on my fender of my alltrac right. Decide to take the fender off as I was taking of the bots I notice my fender looked welded onto the car. I was puzzle did they come stock like that? Don't think is welded but seem like some kind of silicone glue, I'm not sure. Just checking if I was the only one.
i think they are actually glued on but im not too sure, i know i seen the front wing in a skoda was glued on before it wouldnt surprise me if it was...
I have heard of industrial-strength glues used for metal in auto-repair, but AFAIK, the All-Trac fenders were bolted on. Could be that the previous owner used some silicone to keep out water or fill up a seam after a repair...?
yeah def bolt on and off, sounds like a prev bodge, good luck with it, the fenders themselves can twist and distort if you are a bit heavy with them, I did this by acident on a scrap car with a good wing so go easy!
ya actually, unless it was rattling or something?? or somebody did it to stop water or reduce wind noise
OMG the rare welded fender car...holy shit. The holy grail of alltracs!!! Are you stupid? Why would they weld a fender onto a vehicle from the factory? C'mon man, I know you are tring to learn, but some of these questions are just retarded. A little bit of common sense goes a long way. Cut the silicone, remove the fender. Try to fix the dent. Be carefull with the fender when you take it off as the older they are, they seem much easier to tweak. If its F'ed, you'll have to get one for a stock GTS and drill the spots for the alltrac front kit to mount up.
im sure he hasnt been the only owner since the car came out of the factory, some people do retarded things, chill out.
and i was gonna break the news easy.. i have seen non factory welded fenders, usually at the bottom. my camaro is a great example. we all gotta get along here..
:shock: really, I've seen a couple cars whos fender was welded on so I was just checking, seem like the dick before me did it. Also there is no such things as a stupid question they are called seeking knowledge lol
