remove headlight, there should be a bolt or two for the fender in that area, 3 bolts on top, 2 bolts where the door area and one bolt underside. Its been years since ive taken of the SC fender though.

It's harder putting the fender back on then it is taking it off. I always took the front bumper off just to give more space. bolts behind the headlight can be a bit tricky to get it.

Make sure you mark your fender bolts before you take it off to ensure alignment when you reinstall. White out works well.

How about removing the "rear" fender? As it's part of the majority of the skin on the rest of the car (roof included). How would go about that if they needed to replace their driver's side rear fender?
