Chery FX Left Fender Trim (Part No.: 609001345AA)
Let me keep it simple—this is your Chery FX’s "
left front fender guardian and styling trim." It’s not just a decorative strip, you know? It’s a critical exterior component mounted on the left front fender (adjacent to the front wheel), designed to shield the fender’s edge and sheet metal from gravel, sand, mud, and road debris kicked up by the rotating front tire. Meanwhile, it fills the gap between the fender and the wheel arch, enhances the vehicle’s aerodynamic performance slightly, and complements the Chery FX’s front-end body lines for a more integrated and refined look. Crafted from high-flexibility ABS plastic with anti-UV, anti-scratch, and anti-corrosion treatments, it’s precision-molded to fit the Chery FX’s left front fender contour perfectly—balancing robust protection, long-term durability, and seamless body integration.
At its core, it has four key bits: a flexible ABS plastic body (absorbs minor impacts without cracking), an anti-UV and anti-fading coating (maintains color stability), pre-integrated mounting clips/holes (matches the FX’s left fender mounting points), and a smooth, burr-free edge design (avoids scratching the fender sheet metal). Mounted along the lower or upper edge of the Chery FX’s left front fender, it acts as a "debris barrier and gap filler": when the vehicle is moving, it blocks most of the debris from hitting the fender’s vulnerable edge, preventing scratches, chips, and rust; the tight fit also reduces wind noise by eliminating air gaps between the fender and wheel arch.
Without this left fender trim, the Chery FX’s left front fender would be vulnerable: frequent impacts from road debris would cause unsightly scratches and paint chips, and long-term exposure to moisture and road salt would accelerate rust. Additionally, the gap between the fender and wheel arch would look messy, affecting the vehicle’s overall aesthetic. Chery tailored its curvature, length, and thickness to the FX’s unique left front fender shape—ensuring it fits snugly against the body with no gaps or looseness, and doesn’t interfere with the front wheel’s rotation. A generic left fender trim? It’d either be too stiff (cracks easily on impact), ill-fitting (leaves gaps for debris), or fade quickly under sunlight—ruining both protection and aesthetics.
1. Core Jobs: Protect Fender, Enhance Aerodynamics, Boost Styling
This left fender trim plays dual roles in protection and aesthetics—here are its three core functions:
Fender Protection: Blocks gravel, mud, sand, and road debris from hitting the left front fender’s edge and sheet metal, preventing scratches, paint chips, and rust.
Aerodynamic Optimization: Fills the gap between the left front fender and wheel arch, reducing wind resistance and wind noise during high-speed driving.
Body Styling Enhancement: Complements the Chery FX’s front-end body lines, covers the fender’s edge, and creates a more integrated, refined, and sporty exterior appearance.

Installation & Maintenance (DIY-Friendly with Basic Tools)
Installation: 10–15 Minutes (Requires Screwdriver or Clip Pliers)
Replacing this left fender trim is simple—here’s how:
Prep: Park the Chery FX on a flat surface. Clean the left front fender area thoroughly to remove dirt, mud, and debris (ensures a secure fit).
Remove Old Trim (if replacing): Gently pry off the old fender trim using clip pliers (start from one end to avoid breaking clips). If fastened with bolts, unscrew them first.
Install New Trim: Align the 609001345AA with the left front fender’s contour, ensuring the mounting clips/holes match the body’s mounting points. Press firmly to snap the clips into place, or fasten with bolts if needed.
Test & Adjust: Check if the trim fits snugly with no gaps or looseness. Ensure it doesn’t interfere with the front wheel’s rotation or the opening/closing of the front door. Wipe off any remaining dirt.
