Swedish term or phrase: skärm
Hello

This is some sort of car cleaning product.

Fortsätt sedan att applicera sidorna, lägg t ex 2-3 delar (dörr, ***skärm*** etc.) åt gången, vik duken igen så att en ny del av denna blir tillgänglig, torka av.

I can't work out what "skärm" is here. It's not windscreen or bumper as there are other words for these in Swedish and I have ruled out "screens" (video screens in the car) as the text says apply the product to the side of the car at this stage

Maybe I'm missing the obvious?

Thanks in advance

agree  Matt Bibby: Yes in the UK we'd call it a wing, one of the various panels of the car's paintwork.
