Splash Pan Removal

The very front of the splash pan is held on by three 10mm screws. They are easy to remove. Keep these separate from the rest, as these are only used on the front. Reminder, when you replace these, just do a light hand-tight, they are only held in by plastic.

At the rear of the splash pan it is held on by two 10mm bolts at each corner. Before you remove it, take a look at the are between the two bolts, you'll see that the middle is held up by a metal tab on the car. When replacing the splash pan, remember to put it back on this tab.

If you look at the front of each wheel well, you'll see that the splash pan is also fastened here on the side of the frame. Remove these 10mm bolts.

This was a tough shot to describe, it's still in each wheel well. Just follow the edge of the splash pan back, it's right behind the car's shock (the spring looking thing). If you get under the car and look up towards the front of each front wheel well, you should see them facing the bottom of the frame.

The last two are inside the bumper area o. So you'll have to get in past the plastic area that covers the front of the inner wheel wells. The passenger side on NBs have a rectangular hole in it for some reason, so this was easy to get to. This one is just the nut.

If you don't have the hole, simply use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the front fender liner until you can get your arm in there to work. You don't need to remove the whole front fender liner.

On the driver's side I used the phillip's head screw driver, and removed three tap screws from the bottom of the front inner fender cover. This opened up enough space so my hand could reach in. Then remove the nut as in the step above.

With a few more than gentle tugs and twists, you should be able to get the splash pan out.
