The Opel Vivaro C from 2019 onwards is available in several vehicle lengths – from the compact L1 to the extended L3 version. Regardless of body length, the two wheel arches remain exposed areas inside the cargo compartment and can easily come into contact with toolboxes, parcels or other cargo during everyday loading and unloading.
This set includes two vehicle-specific wheel arch covers for the left and right sides. The 3 mm plastic covers are fitted over the existing wheel arches and can be used either on their own or as an addition to an existing cargo area conversion.
Which Opel Vivaro C versions are these wheel arch covers suitable for?
In short: The wheel arch covers are designed for the Opel Vivaro C from 2019 onwards and cover the listed L1, L2 and L3 vehicle lengths. According to the available vehicle compatibility information, they are suitable for versions with either a tailgate or rear barn doors.

One wheel arch protection solution for different Vivaro lengths
The way a Vivaro C is used can vary considerably depending on its body length. A compact L1 is often well suited to service work or urban operation, while the L2 and particularly the L3 provide more room for tools, materials and transported goods.
The purpose of the wheel arch covers, however, remains the same: to reduce direct contact between cargo and the two projecting wheel arch areas during everyday use.
Because the Vivaro can serve very different purposes depending on its length, targeted wheel arch protection provides a practical solution that protects these specific areas independently of the rest of the cargo area conversion.
Tailgate or rear barn doors – both are listed
The available vehicle compatibility information includes Vivaro C versions with a tailgate as well as versions with rear barn doors.
This makes selection easier because the rear door configuration alone does not require a different wheel arch cover within the listed vehicle variants. The key factor remains identifying the correct Vivaro C version from 2019 onwards.
3 mm HDPE/ABS plastic for cargo area protection
According to the product specification, the wheel arch covers are made from 3 mm HDPE/ABS plastic. The material is flexible and UV-resistant and is formed to fit over the existing wheel arches.
This creates an additional protective layer between the vehicle area and the cargo. The covers do not replace a cargo floor or side wall lining and do not perform any load-securing function.

Targeted protection for short and long Vivaro models
As vehicle length increases, the usable cargo area changes significantly. The wheel arches, however, remain two fixed areas around which cargo and interior equipment must be organised.
Targeted wheel arch protection can be particularly useful in:
-
Courier and delivery vans
-
Trade and installation vehicles
-
Service vans
-
Mobile workshops
-
Vans with shelving or customised interior equipment
In these applications, the wheel arches can be included specifically in the cargo area's overall protection concept.
Add wheel arch protection to an existing cargo floor or wall lining
The wheel arch covers can also be installed as an addition to existing interior lining.
For example, an existing cargo floor protects the loading surface but does not automatically protect the wheel arches projecting above it. The same applies to side wall lining.
This means that wheel arch protection can be retrofitted separately without having to replace the entire existing cargo area conversion.
Flexible installation to suit your existing conversion
Depending on the installation situation, the wheel arch covers can be clamped, screwed or bonded in place.
The most suitable method depends on how the Vivaro is already equipped. On a new vehicle, the cargo floor, side walls and wheel arch protection can be planned together. When retrofitting, existing lining and permanent equipment should be taken into account.
Installation note:
The required installation hardware is not included. Fixings or adhesive must be selected to suit the chosen installation method and the existing interior conversion.
Practical tip: L3 does not simply mean a longer wheelbase
When identifying your vehicle, it is worth looking closely at the table: the listed L2 and L3 versions both have a wheelbase of 3,275 mm, but their overall lengths are different.
If you identify your Vivaro using the wheelbase alone, you therefore cannot reliably distinguish between L2 and L3. The overall lengths of 4,956 mm and 5,306 mm provide an additional way to determine the correct version.
That little detail is usually considerably more useful than standing behind the van and deciding: “Looks pretty long – must be an L3.” 😄

Wheel arch protection for all three Vivaro C lengths
The Opel Vivaro C from 2019 onwards offers L1, L2 and L3 versions ranging from a more compact working van to a long cargo vehicle. Regardless of body length, the wheel arches remain two exposed areas inside the cargo compartment.
With this set of two 3 mm HDPE/ABS plastic covers, these areas can be protected individually. The listed vehicle compatibility includes L1H1, L2H1 and L3H1 as well as vehicles with a tailgate or rear barn doors.
So the most important question before ordering is not simply “Vivaro C from 2019?” – it is also which body length is actually parked outside. Particularly with L2 and L3, checking the overall vehicle length is well worth the effort.
