    Default Plastic underbody cover broke

    So my plastic underbody cover ripped from the front bolts and are hanging down as per the image below. Anyone have a solution to fix this other than buying a new plate? Any comments welcome!

    take it off or bolt it up before it causes further damage and or becomes unfixable.

    Last time I looked, plastic doesn't fray like that when it rips.

    It comes like that, it's only half a hole, you slide that around the screw that is there now, under the main tray.

    might be possible that its frayed like that because its dragged on the ground for some time. but yea, looks like it could slip into that bolt right there and tighten it on

    The passenger side did that. But the driver side was stripped down too much. I didn't notice this before. Maybe caused by driving through higher waters from the storm?

    Might have to go ziptie route for the driver side.
