VW Fender Liner - Genuine VW 1J0809962B

Product Information

A fender liner is an inner shield made of plastic, rubber, or thin sheet metal located within the wheel well of a vehicle. It acts as a protective barrier between the wheel and the fender, preventing dirt, rocks, water, and debris from damaging the fender, engine bay, and other essential components. Fender liners are especially important for protecting vulnerable parts, such as the radiator, hoses, electrical components, and suspension, from moisture and road debris.

• Visible Cracks, Tears, or Gaps: One of the most obvious signs of a failing fender liner is visible cracks, tears, or missing sections, leaving parts of the wheel well exposed
• Debris or Water in the Engine Bay: If a fender liner is damaged or missing, you may notice an increase in dirt, gravel, or water inside the engine bay or near suspension components, potentially leading to damage

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
