What to Do When the Plastic Underbody Shield of a Car is Damaged?
1 Answers
If the plastic underbody shield of a car is damaged, it should be promptly replaced or repaired. The plastic underbody shield protects the engine from impacts during driving, preventing damage and keeping the engine free from mud and dirt. If the shield is damaged, it is advisable to visit a 4S shop for repair or replacement. The original underbody shields are typically made of plastic or resin, effectively safeguarding the engine and the safety of occupants in the cabin. There are also metal underbody shields available, which generally do not pose significant issues under normal circumstances. However, in the event of a collision, the engine may impact the metal plate, potentially causing severe harm to the occupants. Besides protecting the engine from damage, the underbody shield also helps maintain cleanliness in the engine compartment by preventing road dust and muddy water from entering.
