Q: Engine shield hanging off
The engine shield on the bottom of my car is half falling off.
The cover gets torn off by parking stops, and hitting road debris. A technician would need to inspect it to see if it can be reattached, or if it needs to be replaced. I recommend having a mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, check this out for you to identify and quote the repairs needed.
