    Does anyone on here know to replace the driver side fender on a 2012 Prius?
    My headlight had gotten smashed and so I ordered the parts to fix it and got a few tools. I seen a video on how to replace the headlight and front bumper but since my side fender is damaged I'm tryna replace it now but can't find anything online. Any advice?

    Slides on from the front. Toughest part is getting the little c clips to catch the studs that are near the small triangle glass. You will need some sealant for the weather stripping near the cowl. Next bolt it in, then attach inner fender.

    The OP's car might've sustained some damage to the mounting areas in the front, or they might be out of alignment.

    update: Thats what happened. We managed to get the new fender on and it looked okay for awhile, though it wasnt lined up perfectly and then a few days later the door started denting the fender in
