Volvo VNL Gen II Rear Fenders

Frequently Asked Questions About Volvo VNL Gen II Rear Fenders

What years and models are these rear fenders compatible with?

These rear fenders are specifically designed for Volvo VNL Gen II trucks manufactured from 2018 to present. They fit VNL 300, 400, 640, 740, and 860 models. The Gen II fenders will not fit older VNL models (pre-2018) due to different mounting points and body dimensions. Always verify your truck's OEM and model year before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

What materials are the fenders made from and how durable are they?

Our Volvo VNL Gen II rear fenders are available in two primary materials: fiberglass and polyethylene plastic. Fiberglass options offer excellent rigidity and paint adhesion, while polyethylene fenders provide superior impact resistance and flexibility in extreme temperatures. Both materials are UV-stabilized and designed to withstand road debris, weather conditions, and typical wear from commercial trucking operations. Expected lifespan is 5-7 years with proper maintenance.

How difficult is the installation process and what tools are required?

Installation typically takes 2-3 hours per side for experienced technicians. You'll need basic hand tools including socket wrenches, drill with bits, and possibly a rivet gun depending on your mounting preference. The fenders come with pre-drilled mounting holes that align with factory mounting points. Most installations require removing the old fender, cleaning the mounting area, and bolting the new fender in place. Professional installation is recommended if you're not comfortable with bodywork.

What finish options are available and can they be painted?

We offer several finish options including primer-ready (for custom painting), pre-painted black, and chrome-plated steel variants. Primer-ready fenders require proper surface preparation and automotive paint for finishing. Pre-painted options come with a durable powder coat or gel coat finish. Chrome options feature triple-plated steel construction. All paintable surfaces accept standard automotive paints and clear coats when properly prepared.

Do these fenders come with mounting hardware and brackets?

Most fender models include basic mounting hardware such as bolts and washers. However, brackets and specialized mounting components are typically sold separately as they vary by specific truck configuration. We recommend purchasing a complete mounting kit if you're replacing damaged brackets or converting from a different fender style. Check the product description for each fender model to confirm what's included in your purchase.
