Today as we were driving on a state highway about 20 miles from home, we had a sudden increase in noise under the car. At first I thought it was a branch or something stuck in the undercarriage, but hadn't seen anything on the road. Then I blamed it on the grooved pavement, but still was suspicious, so we stopped and checked, and the front under-body piece, made of a cross between felt and cardboard from the looks of it, had come loose at the front and was dragging on the pavement. We were close to a hardware store and bought a roll of duct tape and taped it back in place, continued on our errands, and then made it home okay, with it still taped in place.
It looks like I may need to replace that under-body cover piece, so does any one have a part number, official description, or other useful information about it that will help me in getting a replacement part? Or suggestions for reinforcing/repairing/reinstalling it? I will have to look more closely tomorrow in daylight when I can get it up on jack stands or ramps, but my impression is that there may be missing fasteners, too.
Thanks!
