Wheel Brow Buying Guide

How wheel brows are specified, why front/rear and left/right splits cause most of the ordering errors in this category, and how to stock them for the Qashqai, Juke, X-Trail and Yaris Cross ranges.

What a Wheel Brow Is

The wheel brow — also called wheel arch trim or fender flare moulding — is the plastic arch covering the wheel opening edge. It takes stone hits, kerb scuffs and car-wash damage constantly, which makes it one of the highest-turnover body trims in any market that runs SUVs and crossovers.

A full vehicle uses four to eight pieces: front pair, rear pair, and on some models split rear sections — the Juke 2020 range splits the rear into RR.FR and RR.RR, for example.

Reading the Catalog Line

Take the Qashqai 2010 rear wheel brow: OEM L:93829-BR01A / R:93828-BR01A. RR marks the rear axle position; L and R are per side. The Qashqai 2014 uses the same position with different suffixes — 93829-4EA0A / 93828-4EA0A — visually similar parts that do not interchange.

Stock rule of thumb: order fronts and rears in equal pairs, and expect left-side turnover slightly higher in right-hand-traffic markets, because the kerb side takes the scuffs.

Coverage in the SLCHN Range

Current moulds cover the Qashqai 2010, 2014, 2017 and 2022 J12 generations, Juke 2010 / 2015 / 2020, X-Trail 2017 and 2021, Kicks, Pathfinder 2022, Yaris Cross 2020 through 2023, and Rush / Terios.

Each series page lists every position with photos and OEM numbers, so a stocking assortment can be built straight off the page.
