A few days ago my fender liner on passenger side got loose and destroyed by the wheel... now there's a piece still hanging but when i accelerate the car makes an horrible rattle, enough to make the whole front vibrate! First i tought it was only the liner, but now i'm concerned it might be something else... (it also happens when wheels are turned) basically i don't see what coul get stuck to the plastic...

 

Sorry I have to ask but did you look?

 

yes i did but still have'nt raised the car... i'm going to do it tomorrow and try a quick fix... I will replace them during winter vacations, but right now i have three final exams to prepare...

And snow is a real bitch...

 

Just keep driving it. The loose bits will fall off.

You had a lot of snow too. It could be with liner broken you have snow stuck up in there. A few good kicks will solve that.

 

Turns out there's a huge chunck of ice that developed under the car... I was able to remove some with a torch, but there's still a lot left... now even on idle the car rattles like an old 5 cylinder diesel engine... now i got to find some way to get my car in a heated place...

 

EUREKA! i ran some boiling water down a plastic pipe to melt the ice!!! instant improvement!!! but now i just have to replace the underbody liner

 

Well, just took an appointment to get a new splash shield installed... it will cost me about 150$...

i still need to replace my fender liners, and this summer i'll probably be taking the panel off to install an underbody panel...

 

Glad to hear it. Not too bad.

Us old farts have experienced those snow buildups a long time ago.

Go Habs

 

LOL... Go habs? your sens fan i assume? don't worry the leafs will get there asses kicked this weekend!

btw what do you think about Kovi?

 

Been a Habs fan since the days of the Rocket.

Leafs suck.

 

Ha ha great!!! me too! well not since maurice as i was'nt born yet but you get the point!

 

do it yourself...the parts are like 70 bucks...we just replaced mine after an accident, super easy

 

yeah thanks i know that... but with my final exams, freezing temperatures and no garage available, i did'nt have a choice... hopefully i'll do the fender liners myself

 

ah all right...well good luck!

 

anyone know the part number for the front underbody panel? Looking down in the engine bay it seems so much crap gets kicked up from the hole below.
