07 se wheel well

[sxe-10]

im not sure, but i think its called the wheel well, anyways i was wondering if the rear wheel wells on your camrys have a fuzzy fabric cover instead of a plastic one like the ones found on the front.... there was a se parked not far from me at a parking lot, so i decided to go look, and its the same type of material.... wouldnt dirt lodge onto this fabric-like cover? esp during the winter.... overtime it would start to rot and smell bad wouldnt it??? someone reassure me that its normal.... btw i picked up my camry last tuesday! 07 magnetic grey se i4

I was told it was an insulation to cut down on the noise??? It's really cheap looking stuff. I'm curious on how it holds up under the ice and snow. I guess we'll see.

All '07 Camrys have a nonwoven felt rear fender liner "to minimize grit, water and road noises" per Toyota.

Mine looks ok after 4,800 miles.

thats what im worried about too... it looks cheapo and i will be really angry if we need to pay for a replacement after every winter

the first day i got the car with 1.7 miles on it, i looked over it and saw this in the wheel wells and i was thinking why is that there, i guess it would minimize some noise, doesn't looke dirty at all either yet. we'll see how it holds, hope it will last

Yea It looks weird to me too, Mine didn't get wet yet, but I don't know how It's going to look and smell after it does

No worries guys ! That fabric inner liner has been used on other makes/models for a few years now . It is actually very nice to see the Camry, at it's price points , share a feature such as fabric wheel well with that of cars costing much more .

Acura , Mercedes-Benz , Volvo , Lexus also fabric the wells -- again , nice to see the Lexus detail trickle down to the Camry .

It does keep the wet road driving rear swoosh to a minimum .

A good blast of water keeps it clean -the highways - road ways are normally cleaner than the sidewalks !
