how do you get to the bolts towards the back of the car between the door and the fender?

M5150

do you have to take the door off or anything?

M5150

no one has ever removed their fender before? haha

There are three bolts and one nut on the rear of the fender. To remove the single bolt at the top, open the door and use a socket and single 6-inch extension. Be wary of the two at the bottom, they can break.

To get the nut, use two 6 inch extensions to loosen the nut.

Take the plastic off the fender well and reach all the way up into where the fender connects to the front bumper. Theirs two nuts that you need to loosen on that side and two that you need to loosen on the front bumper side. Those are the hard ones i guess. Im speaking of S5 N/A

so its not hard to get the ones inbetween the fender and door?

Felix Wankel

No, just open the door some and they are right there.

You will need a long extension to get the 3 nuts loose on the bumper cover side though.

ya, ive taken the cover off before, also 1 more question, can i change out the molding on it from S4 to S5 with no problem? or do i have to glue it and stuff?

Felix Wankel

The molding around the marker light clips on, but the other piece glues on.

I recently got a pair of doors from an S5. The moulding appears to clip on, but it also is kept in place by double sided tape.

I think it is possible to swap the trim, but the mouldings are molded onto the front and rear bumper covers. You'd have to replace them with s5s. As for the rest, you'll need a roll of 3M double sided tape, and adhesive cleaner (or the tape will FAIL).

Remember, when replacing or remounting trim using adhesive, the surfaces MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY.
