Front right fender liner on Nissan Note E11 - a detail that often goes unnoticed until it starts to create problems. This element protects the wheel arch from dirt, moisture and mechanical damage, but over time it can crack, deform or even fall off. Replacing the fender liner is especially important for owners who operate the car on Russian roads: salt, reagents and constant temperature changes accelerate the wear of the plastic.

In this article we will look at everything you need to know about the front right fender liner for Nissan Note E11: from choosing between the original and analogues to step-by-step instructions for replacement. You will learn what mistakes are most often made during installation, how to check the compatibility of a part with your car modification, and why sometimes a cheap analogue is more expensive than the original. And also - where to buy a fender liner with a guarantee and how to save on work if you decide to change it yourself.

Original vs analogues: what to choose for Nissan Note E11?

The first question that arises when buying a fender liner is whether to buy an original part from Nissan or find an analogue from third-party manufacturers. Original front right fender liner for Note E11 has an article number 62610-4M000 (for models before restyling) or 62610-4M00A (for restyled versions after 2010). Its advantages:

  • 🔹 Perfect fit without modifications - the part exactly repeats the shape of the arch and fastenings.
  • 🔹 High-quality plastic, resistant to UV radiation and reagents.
  • 🔹 Manufacturer's warranty (usually 12–24 months).

However, the price of the original bites: on average from 3,500 to 5,000 rubles for one side. An alternative is analogues from trusted brands:

  • 🔸 Febi (article 35360) - German quality, price ~2,800 rubles.
  • 🔸 SASIC (article 626104M000) - Taiwanese manufacturer, ~2,200 rub.
  • 🔸 Hans Pries (article 626104M000) - a budget option (~1,800 rubles), but the plastic is harder than the original.

Important: cheap fender liners without a brand (for example, with AliExpress for 800–1,200 rubles) often have problems with fastenings or break at the first serious frost. If your budget is limited, it is better to take a used original in good condition - at disassembly sites they sell for 1,500–2,500 rub.

How to check the compatibility of the fender liner with your modification Note E11

fender liners for Nissan Note E11 before and after the 2010 restyling are not interchangeable! Even if visually they look the same, the fastenings and shape may differ. To avoid mistakes, check:

  1. Vehicle VIN code — using it, the dealer or store will select the exact part.
  2. Year of manufacture:
    • 📅 Until 2010 - article number 62610-4M000.
    • 📅 After 2010 - article number 62610-4M00A.
  • Complete set - for versions with 1.4 And 1.6 motors, the fender liners are the same, but for Nismo or Acenta Sport there may be nuances.

    • If you buy a used part, be sure to check:

    • 🔧 Number and location of mounting holes (should be 6–8, depending on the year).
    • 🔧 The shape of the cutout for the turn signal - on restyled models it is wider.
    • 🔧 The presence of rubber sealing around the edge (on the original it is soft, on analogues it often feels dull).
    What happens if you install a fender liner from another modification?

    If you install the fender liner from a pre-restyling model onto a restyled one Note E11, it will not fit tightly to the arch - there will be a gap of ~1–1.5 cm, where dirt will get clogged. The fasteners may also not match: for example, one of the holes for the screw will be higher or lower. In the worst case, the fender liner will begin to rub against the wheel when turning the steering wheel.

    Step-by-step instructions for replacing the front right fender liner

    Replace the fender liner with Nissan Note E11 you can do it yourself in 1–1.5 hours if you have a minimum set of tools. You will need:

    • 🔧 Socket head on 10 mm and a collar.
    • 🔧 Phillips and flat screwdrivers.
    • 🔧 Plastic clips (usually 4–6 pieces, article number 01515-4M000).
    • 🔧 Silicone grease for the seal.

    Work order:

    1. Remove the wheel and unscrew the plastic protection under the engine (if there is one).
    2. Disconnect the turn signal — press the latch and pull out the lamp socket.
    3. Remove the old fender liner:
      • 🔹 Unscrew the 3 bolts along the top edge (under the hood).
      • 🔹 Pull out 4-6 plastic clips from the bottom (they often break - take new ones!).
      • 🔹 Bend the fender liner away from the arch and remove it from the guides.
  • Install a new fender liner in reverse order. Important: before fixing the clips, check that the part sits evenly, without distortions.

    • Check the contents (all clips and bolts are in place)|

    Clean the arch from dirt and rust|

    Lubricate the sealing rubber with silicone|

    Make sure that the new fender liner does not rub against the wheel when turning the steering wheel.

    -->

    ⚠️ Attention: If during installation the fender liner is not fixed at the bottom, do not pull it by force - most likely, one of the clips did not fit into the groove. It is better to remove the part and reinstall it, otherwise over time it will begin to rattle.

    Typical mistakes when replacing fender liner and how to avoid them

    Even experienced car owners sometimes make mistakes, which later turn into problems. Here are the most common:

    Error Consequences How to avoid
    Using old clips The fender liner will fall off in 1–2 months Always take a new set of clips (cost ~200 rubles)
    Incorrect bolt tightening Cracks in the plastic or distortion Tighten the bolts crosswise, without fanaticism
    Ignoring the seal Creaks and moisture entering the arch Lubricate the gum with silicone every six months
    Installation without removing the turn signal Broken lamp socket retainer Always disconnect the turn signal before removing it

    Another common problem is crackling sound when turning the steering wheel after replacement. This means that the fender liner is rubbing against the wheel. Solution:

    1. Check the gaps between the fender liner and the tire (must be at least 1.5–2 cm).
    2. If the part touches the wheel, bend its edges or place a rubber spacer.
    3. Make sure the wheel is balanced - an imbalance can move it closer to the arch.
    💡

    If the clips do not hold the fender liner, use self-tapping screws with a press washer (size 4.2×16 mm). But don't overtighten - the plastic may burst!

    • 🛡️ Anti-gravel treatment - apply to the inside of the fender liner Molykote or Liqui Moly Unterbodenschutz (protects against cracks).
    • 🔧 Checking fasteners every 10,000 km - tighten the bolts and replace lost clips.
    • 🌡️ Avoid washing with hot water in winter — sharp temperature changes make plastic brittle.

    If the fender liner has already begun to crack, but you don’t want to change it yet, you can temporarily strengthen it:

    1. Clean cracks from dirt and degrease White spirit.
    2. Apply to the inside epoxy glue or liquid plastic (For example, 3M Plastic Weld).

    FAQ: Frequently asked questions about fender liners Nissan Note E11

    Is it possible to drive without fender liner?

    Technically possible, but not advisable. Without fender liner:

    • 🔸 Dirt and water will fly directly onto the brake mechanisms, accelerating their wear.
    • 🔸 The wheel arch will rust faster (especially if the paint is chipped).
    • 🔸 Extraneous noise from the wheel may appear in the cabin.

    If the fender liner breaks on the road, temporarily secure it with wire or zip ties, but do not leave it for long.

    Why does the new fender liner squeak?

    The creaking occurs due to:

    1. Wheel friction — check the gaps (should be ≥1.5 cm).
    2. Dry seal - Lubricate the rubber band with silicone.
    3. Poorly fixed clips - reinstall them.

    If the squeak does not go away, glue it to the problem area anti-squeak tape (For example, 3M 051135-08496).

    Which fender liner is better - plastic or rubber?

    For Nissan Note E11 The original fender liners are only plastic. Rubber (for example, from Universal) cheaper (~1,200 rub.), but:

    • ✅ Soft, do not break in the cold.
    • ❌ They wear out faster (service life ~2 years).
    • ❌ May sag over time.

    Rubber fender liners are suitable as a temporary option, but for long-term use plastic is better.

    Do I need to paint the fender liner?

    1. Buy a fender liner that matches the color of your car (for example, Febi There are gray and silver options).

    Remember: the paint will flake off the stones over time, and the fender liner will look worse than unpainted.
