How do I fix where I parked my car to close to a parking caution bump and it scrapped underneath? Thanks in advance!
Happened to me twice…. Missing two screws, got it all fixed up, it’s a very annoying sounds, feels like the whole car is falling apart
💀 my 19 Camry just did this
How much of you don’t mind me asking?
Mines is scrapping pretty bad sound is getting worst been doing that since July 4th where can I take it for repair and is it cheap!?
I swear it does! I thought it was the end of my car when I heard the noise. Tried zip ties for a while but I noticed when it rained, the force of the water under the car when driving caused it to break again. Finally getting it fixed the right way
Yes, very annoying! It happened to me today. This is a good video but not everybody has a car lift.
Amazing, but how am I going to lift my car off of the grown?😭😭😭
Love 1A's videos, definitely my go to place for fun easy peasy knowledge!
Great video, but for those of us who are seldom under the car, showing a quick demo of the types of bolts used to attach splash guard to car and a speeded up version of removing/adding the splash guard might be helpful. Loved the acting! "What is that noise"...lol. Thank you!
Brilliant video. Perfectly explained, cost-efffective and fun.
Awesome, thank you! My engine shield on my 2018 Dodge Journey got broke, but no holes or any pieces missing. Temporarily, I put duct tape on the outside, but it isn't staying well. I am not much of a mechanic, and I have tight finances, so I was thinking of taking it off and repairing it. My wife does not trust my mechanical 'expertise' (as I am no expert, lol)! She would doubt that fixing it would work and that replacement isn't necessary. Having this video, I can convince her that repairing it should be acceptable! Again, thank you! I liked and subscribed!

Thank you for the quick fix! I have a jack and both plastic ties and heavy duty duct tape so I'm going to try this out on my 2018 Honda Fit 🙌
hahaha, the first 3 seconds of this video is pure gold, mate!!!! Well done
And this has been your Roadkill Garage zip tie moment. LOL! Good video!
Great video sir, on my way to work and this happened to me today. My mind is at ease now that it's fixable.
Very helpful. A portion of my under body cracked and now the splash shield drags. While I wont fix it myself, it makes me feel better about : 1)understanding why it needs to be fixed, and 2) going to the mechanic to discuss the issue and price. Thanks!
Awesome video! It's exactly what I experienced from your great acting in the beginning in wondering what the noise was! lol! I love it! Your explanations and demonstrations were terrific. Thank you so much for presenting this. I will definitely like and subscribe! :)
They use these to catch drips also, both to improve road water runoff into storm drains, and to hide leaks from your garage floor until the vehicle is out of warranty.
How vital is the skid/splash shield? Mine tore away (parking stop block) and it's hardly hanging on.
This was the video I was looking for, thank you!
Thanks mate I can fix my own splash shield now !
You did great work with this well made video! Excellent helpful information that I was struggling to find before I found your channel. Thank you.
This is great, but you did not show us how you put it back into place! How is it staying up? Thanks
Yeah. I need to see that part too please
Each car is setup different.
What kind of bolts are used to hold the repaired splash shield back in place, and how many are needed? THANKS! Very helpful!
Great video! Thank you . This is exactly what I wanted to do with not large crack on mine. The problem is...... i do not have a racks or any worthy equipment to lift up the car for comfortable work. Was surprised to see the fuses box under the hood and not in the trunk. I have both - battery and fuses box in the trunk under the cover, next to spare wheel.
Thanks so much for people like you!!
These splash shields are such a pain and overly expensive to replace. Great helpful video on how to patch it for free. Im going to try something similar. Mine is hanging and i need screws to put it in place. I used some zip ties like you. Amazing video. Thank you.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! THANK YOU
Great video!! What would someone likely charge to do this if we can’t do this ourselves?
Excellent video keep going..
Good Idea .....Muchas gracias! 👍
Very nicely explained. Technically perfect narration and presentation found to be enthusiastic. Thank you so much for sharing this information. Would love to see you in more such videos.
Good video right to the point ‼️
Thank you. Good information.
Thanks, you just saved me a hundred dollars!
I have a Toyota Avalon that’s the same year as the white one in the background of this video… Oh how I would love to see the driver side interior door handle be replaced, or maybe the power steering rebuilt, or maybe replacing the visors…
you get it. ;-)
Keep up the great work.
Thanks buddy! I SMASHED the like button 😊
Nice idea man ❤❤❤
Great idea I have to try that sometime
Awesome. Thanks!
Thanks needed this!

That happened to me I have a bmw and I drive like a manic lol zip ties did not help me
@@AJR19982 how did you fix it
Hey man great Video i would also want to ask if The shield underneath the engine has also the roll to reduce engine noise really curious ;D
Thank you 😃
Thank you for teaching me something new (a woman). Not a pleasant sound when driving, but helpful to know what the cause was. 😂loose bolts or no bolts resulting in a currently bent underbody fabric cover. Now needing a replacement part or fixer-upper patch

Thank you.
That's awesome!!
"For me personally..." lol Thank you for the video!
Great tip. My slash guard is about like that. Now where do I find someone like you to help? Lol
Great video, quick and to the point! What can you do if the clips.. become loose? Even with new clips?
I have just changed mine. $32. Plus a heck of work.
How did you change it
Thanks brother...
For personally ….that was a good video!
That's bro, very easy solution
Would you show how to put back 2021 KIA FORTE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE UNDERBODY SPLASH SHIELD COVER
Youre awesome thx
What can you do about the shields that are made out of the fiberous type material? Zip ties would rip right thru. I have a 2016 Sorento with this issue.
Put metal washers where the holes are on both sides to prevent the tearing.
What are the sizes on the screws? I need to buy them
Thank you good video
How do you fix it yourself if you don't have the equipment to lift up the car? Would a regular jack work?
Unfortunately it didn't do my wife's car any good a couple winters ago when she hit a large chunk of ice on the road about the size of a basketball.....it pretty much destroyed the plastic shield under her Honda Civic. I took it to the honda dealer to have them remove what was left, and they estimated it would cost me about $250 to replace what was destroyed. I used a sawzall to get some of it off, they had to get the parts that I couldn't get laying on my side in the garage, haha.
Is there ever a back splash guard? Noticed I can see parts under my car and not sure if it fell off or if there was ever one. Can’t seem to find much online about it. Stuff just looks very exposed from what I last remember
Who should i have look at it/fix it? Mechanic, Oil Change place, Collision shop?
I have an 04 Sebring convertible and the holes that the clips go through have ripped and there is just no place to zip tie it securely. Is there some fix for this. I don't have ramps or lift so kinda need to leave it on to fix. Great video.
Me too, Sienna sheild came off, o ring at the edges were broken !!!
How do you attach the shield to the car?
I had rebar from a parking lot rip out the undercarriage.
Thank you so much!!!

How do I change a rack and pinion on a Santa Fe Hyundai truck 03
It's called a nuisance cover and if cars were made so that they are not so low to ground you would not need it, else cars become mine sweepers!
~~~>Ty so much. You are awesome personality. Fixing mine tomorrow. AWESOME video. 💥⭐️
Mine (new) happend to catch a lot of water underneath due to a small city flood, just one street, and it developed a big belly wich goes like 3 inches lower than the original level, it scraps everywhere but...how do I fix this? is like having more material as it streched.
What size screw do they use ? 09 camry
We have had this issue on a 2017 honda civic. The wire ties keep coming off. I did locate some metal wire ties on amazon, but haven't tried them yet.
I was on my way to class while this happened on the freeway 😂
Did the same fix with my wife’s 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid. The dealer didn’t attach it following a repair, so the wife drove around oblivious to what had happened. When I got to the dealer, they didn’t care. Here on our island, not much recourse or options, so I zip tied it with heavy duty ties. 5 years later, the shield failed further, so a drill and three more ties (one needed a pair to span far enough) and the shield is back in service. Repairs like this are our only choice, given the shipping costs to Kauai, Hawaii, if a replacement is even out there.
When this fails, I’m installing metal straps across the frame to hold up the plastic.
have splash guard issue- my guy said same . thumbs up
+egreens Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
What tool you use to get it off
How do you mount it back up there once you fix it??????????
In the case of a 2004 Chevy Cavalier, the splash shield protects the belts from small rocks. Had this issue because mine was missing and one day I noticed the belt was chewed up and after removing it I found all these small rocks imbedded in it! Replaced the belt and splash guard and have had a issue again!
Damn, that sucks!
I ran over a curb last night....nothing fell off but it's lose on one side...
Great video though , very helpful 🙌🏽👍🏽
you can also weld the plastic with the right tools
Can I just leave it off? I live in AZ not much rain or water here at all.
How do I replace a racopigen on a hundsle 03
Each time I brought one off line it didn't fit had to send it back
The doors on the splash shield are tied to the splash shield with zip ties. The zip ties keep breaking every couple of months. What can I do?
Genius
Hey good day . I am a fabricator and welder in trinidad and i made a shield for a toyota raize out of metal and people is concern that it will over heat can you give me a response to this please . Or even advise me . Thank you
How long might this last.
I tried flex seal tape -- came off after a couple days. So zip ties.
If it’s not broke got to autozone nomore than 6$ for plastic clips that go in the holes it came out of take 20seconds to put them on . If it broke off I would buy a new one and you can easily put it back on yourself just try a little bit ❤
Good video but it didnt show how to put the gaurd up
How do trucks off-road in deep water without splash guards?
Did he used to be an air steward in a previous job by any chance?
good video, disagree with most of it in regards to the splash shield being necessary, but good video
It does more than stop water from splashing all over the engine. It also stops small rocks from destroying belts in some cars
Very necessary it's no joke. I just went through a giant puddle with no way to go around it or back up. It flooded my engine and it would have been prevented if I had a shield. So it's definitely worth it
I just got my car from my mechanic and a few days later after going to work I hear these noises and checked under my car and found this dragging . Will they charge me for this if I return it ? Or are they reliable ?
So what happened?.. did the mechanic cover this… same thing just happened to us.
What do you do if it’s metal how do you fix it
The part I was looking for, how to re-install it, you blew right past.
Right, the most important part for me
