A fender liner includes a surface layer serving as the outermost layer and
an inner layer located between the surface layer and the outer surface of
a wheel well. The surface layer and the inner layer are formed of
nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric forming the inner layer has a higher
tensile strength than that of the nonwoven fabric forming the surface
layer. Accordingly, the fender liner has a favorable noise reduction
capability, and has a sufficient rigidity to bear a weight increase due
to water absorption. Alternatively, the nonwoven fabric forming the
surface layer may have a higher bulk specific gravity and a smaller fiber
diameter than those of the nonwoven fabric forming the inner layer. In
this case, the noise reduction capability and the durability are both
improved.
