Inner Wheel Liner

Repstyle · Nov 20, 2021

Hi all. I just had the winter tires installed on my ST and was adjusting the tires pressures when I noticed that both front inner fender liners are split and pulling away. I am not sure if this is how it’s designed or if it’s a flaw. Needless to say I don’t want snow and dirt to accumulate behind there. Anyone else notice this?

That's very odd as that felt liner material isn't easy to tear.

Both sides same location?

Any chance that happened when the winter tires went on?

It’s the exact same spot on both sides. On closer inspection it looks like there there is a seam/crease that comes from the factory where it started to split. I just wondered if it was a design flaw that would reoccur shortly after being replaced.

Same thing on mine and every other Explorer at my dealership. I believe it is there to allow the felt to mold to the fender.
