Transit wheel arch

Transit wheel arch, Ford Transit body elements, body panels, wheel arch rubber. If we talk about the wheel of the Ford Transit, we can mean two things: the first is the rubber, that fills the inside wheel arches and protects metal against all pollutants that occur on the roads, especially before the salt and mud, that works on a body in an extremely negative way, causing very rapid corrosion of body panels.

The second type of wheel arches we can look for these are so-called the rocker covers. They are installed, when the salt and other contaminants already done its things and wheel arch repair becomes so unprofitable, that it’s better fitted into a new piece of metal in that place, than trying to locate a whole element and filling wheel arches.

Ford Transit MK7 because of its age isn’t so vulnerable to the body damage caused by corrosion, so in this case, customers are usually looking for only the fill of wheel arches, which previously may have been broken, or simply fell off somewhere along the way while traveling in a van or bus.
