2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Dually fenders cracked

[jkoehler]

Howdy!



Need advice: I've got a red '99 3500 SLT. Me n the missus surely do like it, too.



The right fender started to crack n split this winter, front to back, right on top. I suppose the crack is some 10 in long, but no gaps as yet.



Then about 2 weeks ago, on a rain slick road, some goober went and slid/drifted into my left side (don't ya hate when that happens!) and cracked the left fender vertically about 3 in. , dead center in the wheel well. There is also a long crack where the fender curves inside to the wheel well from the very bottom left, up & around the transition curve from the painted fender to wheel well interior. about 18 in.



SO - now for repair techniques: Repair? Replace? Some other technique like hiding the damage with someting?



Thanks in advance.

I would take it to a repair shop that fixes fiberglass. Should not be a big deal, who does the best Corvette repairs in OKla City?

Better to get new or good used ones as they are made of plastic. They can be fixed but will not last.

I remember an article in the TDR mag about someone that made some cool dually fenders with a built in flare. I don't know if they are in production, but I would fire a pair of those up, if mine were cracked.

I knocked a hole in mine a year ago and ended up paying $1,700. 00 to replace it. I checked all around the country for a used one and the price of new ones. It seems DC has the price set at $1150. 00 unpainted. Good luck!
