Remove W215 Front Fender
Can anyone give me any instructions as to how to remove a front fender from a W215?
There’s a crack in it and I don’t feel like leaving the whole car at the body shop for a month.
Thanks,
Frank

Hmm, had mine replaced with a set of Prior-Design fenders. There are a bunch of bolts. Bolts by the engine bay. You have to take off some bolts by the A pillars as well. By the side skirts. Near the rubber gromets by the doors. That's all I can remember for now. I have both sides if you're looking to buy instead of fixing them.

Just finished. It was a 2+ hour job. I used the Star Service Manual. It was a little vague for the inexperienced / non-MB mechanic.
Had to remove...
Front wheel
Inner wheel well
Running board
Door sill inside car
Pillar Cover
Lotsa hardware to remove. And every different type of Clip you could imagine.
Anyone know where I can get the items in the photo? I'm not sure if I can just show them to the MB parts dept. I'm surprised that the Star Service Manual doesn't list items like these.
