Default Help How To Replace Inner Fender

Does ANYONE have a link or any info on replacing an inner fender on a 2003 C5. I am coming up short and I see its "glued" to the frame rail in front?

Dude...my '03 is in the shop for the exact same thing (and other things ). My driver's side outer and inner fenders were destroyed and I saw where pieces of the inner wheelhouse stayed attached to the frame. I have NO idea how they are going to get it off before putting on the new one. It's defintley some strong epoxy...I tried chiseling it off and I couldn't do it.

from what i can tell you need to use a few self tapping screws after you bond the inner fender on to hold it just right
