Does Gm (sierra) Make Fender Corner Caps?

iceman1998 · March 21, 2011

Hey guys maybe you can tell me.......I'm looking for what i'm gonna call, fender corner caps for my '07 Sierra (new body style) I noticed that the f-150's have them, there right at the corner of the wheel wells where stones would hit the paint. I'm looking for something like this because i don't want the put mud flaps on it. I have a couple pictures to show you what i mean:

Wheel 1 is the rear of the truck and you can notice it runs from the rear of the wheel well across the bottom of the fender above the exhause pipe

Wheel 2 is the front of the truck and is at the bottom of the front fender right where a mud flap would be installed.

So i'm just wondering if there would be a product out there to fit my Sierra??

I've not seen those on any newer GM trucks. But I can see how they'd be easy to miss.

I can see where those would be useful.

I've considered having the same material used for the clear 3m Bra installed back there for the same purpose.

I wish i could source something like the F-150's have on them......

anyone else seen anything like these?

On my previous truck, a ford ranger it had a thick clear vinyl like tape right there, same purpose. Probably the same as clear 3m bra, you can try that.

I don't believe there is anything like that for the GMT-900's. Your best bet would be some clear 3M film along the rockers.

My 2010 came with the clear 3M type plastic in a similar spot around the wheel well flare/arch....

I haven't seen them on a GM but IMO you are better off with mud flaps. The pictures you posted don't look like there is really any protection from stones, rock chips. The GM molded flaps would catch/stop a lot more damage than those things.

agreed.

I was washing my 4 month old truck when I found multiple rock chips on the lower rocker panel of my front doors. The factory tires instead of being Bridgestone should be called "ThrowingStones". I drive a decent amount of gravel roads around my hunting camp and it was tearing up my truck. I went with the Weathertech brand mud flaps. I don't care for the look of any of them, but at least the paint is safe.
