I have a 07 tundra and was trying to remove the drivers side fender ( wife put a nasty dent!) to put a new fender that I bought from a member ( Same color...Slate! ). Anyway, has anyone done the removal??? I removed all bolts but the front part behind the Resin bumper upper cover. I removed one bolt but can't see or feel the other one holding it. I tried to remove the Resin bumper cover but did not want to break it! Anyone know how to remove that part too??? Thanks for any help

Never done it on a Tundra but just look at the new fender, make sure you got all the bolts out compared to the bolt holes on the new one. The old one may have some water sealant (silicone type) between the fender and mounting surface making it difficult to remove. On my 4Runner there are two bolts on the bottom of the fender holding it on near the running board, have to get on your back to see it.
The trim on the fender most likely is attached with compression clips. Use pliers to squeeze the clip together and after it pops shim it between the plastic and metal so it doesn't pop back in when you move to the next one.

thanks Rockpig! 07 DC I sure did but totally forgot! I work late hours so was tired and did not even remember. Thanks for the heads up!

Compression clips for Tundras can be removed easily. Take a piece of 1/2 inch PVC pipe and cut yourself a 3/4" piece. Now slide that piece over the back of each Toyota compression clip and press down on the Back top of the compression clip; it will slide right out and be sure to hold on to your PVC compression clip removal tool for the next clip. I think everyone owning a Tundra and trying to install a new power antennae would appreciate my PVC compression clip removal tool; since each inner fender has approx 12 Toyota Compression clips.

Look on the bright side. At least he learned to use a thread title that might actually get him an answer to his question.

I'd like to see the compression clip removal photos.
