If the service manual will suffice, I can email you the procedures.

I need to know: Year, model, and which fenders.

Good luck if it's a rear fender - it's almost impossible to reach the screws that are under the panel between the trunk lid and roof unless one has a "magic" phillips head screwdriver. I think it may be necessary to remove the roof to get at those screws - but I'm just guessing because I haven't, yet, invested in a repair manual.

I'm curious if it's front fenders. I'm thinking about doing screens in the gills and don't see an easy way to get in there.

I just turned the wheel removed half the screws on the inner fender wedged it back and there was enough room to get your hand in and put the screens in with epoxy just to make sure they stay
