Our guide covers 11 model years for the Subaru Crosstrek (2015–2025) but only 4 for the Volkswagen Taos (2022–2025), so the Subaru Crosstrek data reflects a broader range of generations.

Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used fender
- Check bolt holes for elongation — this means the panel was adjusted after impact and may not line up cleanly.
- Run your hand along the inside surface to feel for body filler. Filler means the fender was repaired, not original.
- Confirm whether the fender liner and side marker light are included.
- Match the paint code stamped on the driver's door jamb — even the right color name can vary by production code.
