Default What's it called?

My wife had my '03 S40 on a trip and called saying something was rubbing up front. When she got home, I found that a panel inside the front fender had come loose (flipped backwards) and was melted by the tire. Looking more, it looks like a panel is supposed to go underneath between the panels on the inside of the fenders (hooking under the grill/radiator). I don't have any idea what these parts would be called. I tried searching on air dam, cowling, etc, but with no luck. Any ideas anyone? How about a place to buy them?

With a Minnesota winter coming soon, I'm thinking my duct tape solution is not good long term.

Thanks in advance!

I believe that it is called a fender liner.

I need one of these too. Mine broke when the car was towed. Too low to the ground and squished on the flat bed.

How much do those go for?

Easy to install?

I still can't find the part. My mechanic said to forget about it. Not that easy since duct tape is holding it together. Where are the good parts stores online?
