fenderwells for fiberglass bedsides & fenders?

So, I'm going to need glass bedsides & fenders, but I travel though some snow states almost every winter. My question is what are you guys doing for fenderwells? I can't help but think without them in the right conditions they would get so much ice buildup in them they would just get ripped off? This is a picture of my last trip, with this much ice without fenderwells it would be so much more built up between the bed & sides & inside the front fenders I would think they would just break off from all the extra weight? Please show me what you guys have done, TIA!

 

Most people don't have anything.

 

I don't have anything and I haven't had any issues in Missouri for the last four years.

 

I know most don't have anything, just thought ppl that lived in snow states would probably come up with something to keep th snow, slush & ice from building up in there.

good to know, thanks!

 

8 month winters here and a long mud season after that. I had to come up with something. I don't have FG fenders, so this may not work for you but check it out. It may give you some ideas.

that may just do the trick, thanks!

 

I used some heavy rubber diamond plate mat. It's maybe a bit "permanent" but I don't see a need to remove it so no big deal. It's riveted to the lip of my GW fenders and then just some body fasteners to the sheetmetal of the engine bay.


I needed to do something because I modified the air intake to be right up at the base of the A-pillar and wanted to keep as much crap out of it as possible. The new liner keeps the air cleaner very clean since it limits dust getting in too.

 

I like it, nice work!
