Hi all

What do you do when the inner plastic wheel arch guard gets brittle and falls apart.

My '94 xj,s front inners are falling apart.

I want to protect the inner guards from grime and stone damage so want to retain these plastic guards.

Has anyone got a solution, do later model XJ,s have the same shape?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

All good, bought the new from rockauto $10 each, but $100 with exchange rates and delivery to Australia

I wouldve pulled the remaining peices out, and saved the $100, but thats just me.
If you dont like grime, keep your engine leak free... and it'll only get dusty, wash out when washing the jeep...

No problems here.

Yeah I would agree but don't the front tyres chuck garbage then into your power antenna and into the door jams?.

Over here in the US, we have these things called pool noodles?, theyre an expanded foam toy kids use in swimming pools, they fit pretty well to block the door jambs.

You do have a point about the door jambs, its been a while since ive thought about that stuff. Apologies.

I've herd guys using old mudflaps as fender liners. Any cheap chunk of rubber material will be good enough I imagine. Just cut it and secure it in place.
