This fell off from underneath the front passenger side of my car (06' Toyota Camry) about a half-hour ago, while I was driving:
Anyone know what it is? Is it important to get it back on ASAP? I kind of new it was going to eventually come off as it was making noise and hanging low, flapping the past couple weeks.
I fed a wire hanger through the hole two Fridays ago, and hooked it up using the front grate of the car. I knew it probably wouldn't stay on forever.
Can't find much on the Toyota forums. There is another comparable piece underneath the car on the driver's side which is just flapping in the wind when I drive. When I go over 45 I can hear a scraping sound, but am thinking it's just the sound of the wind hitting this panel (the one that didn't completely fall off yet).
Any input welcome, except for "Take it to a dealer or call a dealer." My lease is up soon and it's not worth putting more $$$ into the car, since I'm a good customer and they never penalize me for returning cars with minor problems in the past, when the lease is up.
Thank you,
JDM
That looks like the upper flap hammer. You’ll need to get that replaced or the hard drive will crash.
Save it and return it at the end of the lease. It’s what they variously call a splash guard, wind dam or sound barrier.
You don’t need it.
This Just Fell Off My Car Ping.
Whatever it is, your warranty on a 06 Toyota Camry should cover the replacement cost. This is the result of shoddy assembly work, or a defective securing snap or bolt.
Dude! It’s a continuum transfunctioner...
Your car is an 06 and something fell off it? Don’t you have a warranty? Take it back to the dealer for cryin’ out loud.
Make sure you have a 2008 Honda Accord brochure handy to flip through in front of them if they try to claim it ain’t covered.
I haven't had anything fall off my car lately, but I recently had someone lob an exploding lemon at my car.
That's got to count for something.
Yes, but it counts less than taping the exploding lemon to your head while sporting magical underpants.
Someone should tell Cheney that we have discovered the replacement for waterboarding.
Don't Phase Me, Bro!

er, um, you need a new Johnson bar...
Only if the interociter is involved.

Haven’t seen a car with an interociter since I left Metaluna.
I’m sure Rush Limbaugh would diagnose that fallen car part as the disgronificator!
Just when I think I’ve seen it all in Freeperdom :)
