Q: Splash shield came off
My engine splash shield came off. I want to know if this piece can be reattached or do I need to buy a new one?
Hi. Your splash shield is connected to the car with clips that may have come loose. It should be able to be re-attached. I would recommend having a technician from YourMechanic come out and re-attach the splash shield for you so that no further complications arise with your vehicle.
