Front under tray bent - suggestions on fix please


Recommended Posts

It seems you have face-lift 1-piece bumper (I thought they only came in 2011-2012), not sure how it suppose to be on 1-piece bumper, but on older 2piece bumpers the front of undertray tucks behind the bumper. So I suspect the reason your one got bent was that somebody didn't fit it correctly and left it hanging below the bumper. At any speed even the wind would bend it down.

Heat gun and perseverance. Gently heat it and bend it back straight.  

There should be a slot for the tray to slid in to and connect to the bumper. If it's really lose a small grub screw should hold it in place.

+1 with heat gun. you can re-form it back to shape. but be very careful not to heat the painted bumper itself. You usually get attachments on heatguns to help direct the airflow so that will help keep the heat concentrated in a certain location.

No point trying to heat it in situ, as Linus says, it should slot behind the bumper so you're going to have to remove it to refit it properly anyway.

I'd do it sooner rather than later though, as I knew someone who had his undertray wrongly fitted by the garage so that it was outside the bumper. The wind from a motorway run resulted in it being ripped away and making quite a mess of things.
