Default HOW TO: C7 Front Fender and Headlamp Removal

A member was asking about front fender removal and I found that there wasn't any instructions for the front fenders or headlamps in any of the How To's out there. So, here is the removal info per the factory service manual. Please note that this requires the removal of the front bumper fascia first! Hope it helps!

Default Possible video or picture

I’m in the process of removing badly scratched fenders and putting new ones on. I see the detailed information which is helpful, don’t get me wrong. My only question is would there possibly be a video or imagery located anywhere. I am a visual learner. Not saying I can’t read. But when your ignorant of something, reading where the bolts are and steps on how to remove can seem rather helpless I guess lol. My first time removing panels. Obv.

i appreciate all feedback.

Thanks OP, I'm getting ready to have a set of fender vents painted and hydro dipped. Very useful post.

I found a YOU TUBE on removing the fender vents, you do NOT remove the fenders.
You can loosen the bottom of the inner fender liner and reach the three nuts on the back side of the vents
Tedious, but very doable.
