Got her jacked up in the garage to let everything melt and am going to tackle it later tonight.

Anyone here been there done that and have any words of wisdom for me. Without being under the car yet I think I am going to need a lot of zap straps ;)

Thanks all.

Been there, done that lol. twice this year, getting pounded with snow. I lucked out, and the underbody pans on my parts car were good, so I swapped those onto mine. You can try to find a local part out otherwise'

BEST option, is to just replace it, re-use the stock plastic nuts that hold it up there. Otherwise, what I did, that worked(was a tempory fix until I swapped it out), but is a pain, and alot of work is buy a sheet of tin(I had one laying around), then drill holes through plastic and tin (lined up) and do a zip tie stitch job. Tin on the inside (facing car) to add support. But its not a flexible plastic from factory, its like a fibre crap that just tears/cracks.

These must stay on there, as they protect your floor pan and fuel/brake lines. I'm sorry, I couldn't find one on Rock Auto for replacement, as all skid plates show up as the one under the motor.

I've lost 3 of the passanger side lower panels, they broke right behind the wheel well and acted like shovels scooping up snow. It really only happened when it was thick heavy snow.

EXACTLY what happened here.

Just got under there...Lots of washers and zip ties got it sorted..for now...

I am going to have to source a replacement one from a wreckers.

Thanks all.

That exact thing happened to me about 3 weeks ago. I sourced a used replacement. Mine was caused by a stick buried in deep snow that smacked the leading edge of the plastic liner and broke it off. Then it was like a snow shovel.

Same thing happened to me a couple years ago. Ripped it off, it was broken in pieces.

If you find them let me know. Surprise rockauto doesn't sellthem

Considerably more expensive than used from the junkyard, but the metal skid plates are hard to beat. Thor, panzer, and ECS all have them.

I have one frounder the engine... Do they make them for the "side" pieces that run on either side of the drive shaft?

[cschuster]

Oh, looking back I can now tell that picture is the side, not the front. My bad.

I did the same thing a few years ago. I ended up just pulling it off. ECS sells them under the B7 section...same fit for the B6 though.

$160! holy crap. I think If I bought a new one, I would in-lay a sheet of tin/thin body metal and glue/ rivit it ontop, so it will no longer break.
