Inner fender install tips?

[isanti]

I am going to install an inner fender on my 97 GTS and am wondering if there is any trick to getting it back on there.

I spent a whopping 3 minutes trying to eye it up but it looks like a PITA. Not sure if I can do it withought scratching it.

Do I have to take the upper control arm off or something?

Any tips on doing this without breaking it?

Thanks,
John

Ok, I figured this out today. I will post how incase someone tries to search this like I did prior to posting.

The trick is to first slide the front of the inner fender inbetween the lower inner fender and the frame rail. Then try to slide the back behind the rear of the front control arm. After you get it in you can slide it down to its propler location right under the master cylinder. If you wiggle it in correctly you will be able to get it in with plenty of room to sneak it by the master without scratching the fiberglass.

Before bolting it on, there should be enough wiggle room to get it in the edge of the sideskirt without removing it. Bolt/rivet it in and you are done.
