Plastic moulds on the front bottom

Post by ihsn »

Hello,One of the plastic shields/moulds that are on the front bottom over the wheel is loose. I saw that it is cracked (screw hole torn) and needs to be replaced pretty soon. My mechanic has fixed it temporarily (for now) by making another hole and attaching it.How much is it? And what is this part called?I was thinking of doing it immediately as I dont want the snow to get in there.Thanks.Not clearly visible here but:

If it just tore out the bolt hole, put a in a washer with the bolt and tighten her up!

I didnt replace mine, I just had some old bolts laying around that fit the holes where the PLASTIC bolts were. Im pretty darn sure I sheared the old ones off driving around Omaha. We have alot of snowbanks.Plastic bolts on the bottom of the car holding a plastic shield.... Really?!?!?! What were they thinking?
