front driver fender removal

[Le'Crosse_26]

so i have the fender removed and a new painted to match fender ordered. for anyone who wants to do this here is how i did it
1 remove wheel well lining. tire might be in the way but i was able to work around it
2 remove the nut and bolt securing the front bumper ends to fender
3 pull bumper end toward wheel well to unlock from pin hole
4 the fender is held in place with T30 torx bolts (stupidest idea) i had to cut the bolt sides parallel and used an adjustable wrench to remove ( 2 on bottom, 2 on front bracket, one in door jamb, 5 in engine bay, one nut and bolt holding bumper end to fender
5 pull doorside of fender out and slide back.

i didnt have to remove front bumper or the headlight once i get new hardware (actual bolts, what they should have done) and fender in mail hopefully it will go back in the same way

Thanks for taking the time documenting Steve. Nvm the haterz!!

Does anyone know if there is a video or a link to show how to remove left front fender 2014 Buick LaCrosse thanks

I came here for this, apparently these fenders aren't too easy to find and I have to go to u pull it( a salvage yard here in Ohio where you have to pull your own parts, sounds like a stupid idea, but the parts are actually way cheaper that way and this place is wildly popular here

you have to remove the little window that is glued to the body to access the top bolt on the fender!!!! bad design!
