For the Ford Transit from 2014 onwards, the drivetrain is an important factor when choosing the correct wheel arch covers. This set is specifically designed for vehicles with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) and therefore differs from the version for the Transit with front-wheel drive.
The set includes two vehicle-specific wheel arch covers made from 3 mm ABS plastic for the left and right wheel arches. The shaped plastic covers provide additional protection for these projecting areas of the cargo compartment against direct contact with toolboxes, machines, transport containers, parcels and other cargo.
Which wheel arch covers fit the Ford Transit with RWD or AWD?
In short: This set is designed for the Ford Transit from 2014 onwards with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). A different version is required for vehicles with front-wheel drive (FWD). The set includes two wheel arch covers made from 3 mm flexible and UV-resistant ABS plastic for the left and right sides of the vehicle.

RWD, AWD or FWD – the drivetrain determines the correct version
The description “Ford Transit from 2014 onwards” alone is not sufficient when selecting these wheel arch covers. The decisive factor is which drivetrain the vehicle has.
This product is designed for Transit models with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. A separate version of the wheel arch covers is required for the Transit with front-wheel drive.

Protection for exposed wheel arches in the Transit cargo area
The wheel arches are among the areas of the Transit cargo compartment that project furthest into the usable loading space. Toolboxes, machines, transport boxes or other cargo are regularly moved past these areas or placed directly next to them during loading and unloading.
The shaped ABS covers fit over the existing wheel arches and create an additional protective layer between the vehicle and the cargo.
This makes it possible to protect these exposed areas without necessarily requiring a completely new interior lining throughout the vehicle.
3 mm ABS plastic for both wheel arches
The wheel arch covers are made from 3 mm ABS plastic. The material is flexible and UV-resistant.
The set includes two vehicle-specific plastic covers – one for the left and one for the right wheel arch. This provides protection for both sides of the vehicle.
The wheel arch covers can be used on their own or combined with an existing or planned cargo floor and side wall lining.
They do not replace a cargo floor or side wall lining and, of course, they do not perform any load-securing function.

For work, delivery and service vehicles
A Transit with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is used in a wide range of commercial applications. These wheel arch covers are particularly useful in vehicles where the cargo area is used intensively on a daily basis.
-
Trade and installation vehicles carrying tools and materials
-
Courier and delivery vehicles with frequently changing loads
-
Service vehicles with toolboxes and vehicle equipment
-
Fleet vehicles in daily transport operation
-
Vans with an existing cargo floor or side wall lining
Especially where the floor and side walls are already protected, exposed wheel arches can be covered separately with the two ABS shells.
Retrofit wheel arch protection to an existing conversion
The ABS covers can be installed as part of a new cargo area conversion or retrofitted as an addition to existing interior lining.
If a cargo floor is already installed or the side walls are lined, the wheel arches can still be protected separately, provided that the existing installation allows sufficient access.
If shelving systems, vehicle equipment or other permanent fittings are already installed, check beforehand that the wheel arch areas remain sufficiently accessible.
Installation by clamping, screwing or bonding
Depending on the installation situation, the wheel arch covers can be fitted by clamping, screwing or bonding.
The most suitable fixing method depends on the individual cargo area conversion. With a new conversion, the cargo floor, side wall lining and wheel arch protection can be planned together from the start.
Installation note:
The required installation hardware is not included. Screws, adhesive or other fixings must be selected to suit the chosen installation method and the individual installation situation.
Practical tip: check the drivetrain before ordering
With this product, the drivetrain should be one of the first details you check before ordering. Rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive belong to this version, while vehicles with front-wheel drive require a separate wheel arch cover set.
If you are unsure, confirm the drivetrain using the vehicle information before ordering. The description “Ford Transit from 2014 onwards” alone is not sufficient for selecting the correct product.
A quick vehicle check before ordering is far more convenient than discovering later that two perfectly good ABS covers belong to the wrong Transit. 😄
