I swear it does! I thought it was the end of my car when I heard the noise. Tried zip ties for a while but I noticed when it rained, the force of the water under the car when driving caused it to break again. Finally getting it fixed the right way

Yes, very annoying! It happened to me today. This is a good video but not everybody has a car lift.
Amazing, but how am I going to lift my car off of the grown?😭😭😭
Love 1A's videos, definitely my go to place for fun easy peasy knowledge!
They use these to catch drips also, both to improve road water runoff into storm drains, and to hide leaks from your garage floor until the vehicle is out of warranty.
Brilliant video. Perfectly explained, cost-efffective and fun.
This is great, but you did not show us how you put it back into place! How is it staying up? Thanks

Awesome, thank you! My engine shield on my 2018 Dodge Journey got broke, but no holes or any pieces missing. Temporarily, I put duct tape on the outside, but it isn't staying well. I am not much of a mechanic, and I have tight finances, so I was thinking of taking it off and repairing it. My wife does not trust my mechanical 'expertise' (as I am no expert, lol)! She would doubt that fixing it would work and that replacement isn't necessary. Having this video, I can convince her that repairing it should be acceptable! Again, thank you! I liked and subscribed!

Great video, but for those of us who are seldom under the car, showing a quick demo of the types of bolts used to attach splash guard to car and a speeded up version of removing/adding the splash guard might be helpful. Loved the acting! "What is that noise"...lol. Thank you!
Very helpful. A portion of my under body cracked and now the splash shield drags. While I wont fix it myself, it makes me feel better about : 1)understanding why it needs to be fixed, and 2) going to the mechanic to discuss the issue and price. Thanks!
What kind of bolts are used to hold the repaired splash shield back in place, and how many are needed? THANKS! Very helpful!
Great video! Thank you . This is exactly what I wanted to do with not large crack on mine. The problem is...... i do not have a racks or any worthy equipment to lift up the car for comfortable work. Was surprised to see the fuses box under the hood and not in the trunk. I have both - battery and fuses box in the trunk under the cover, next to spare wheel.
Thank you for the quick fix! I have a jack and both plastic ties and heavy duty duct tape so I'm going to try this out on my 2018 Honda Fit 🙌
Great video sir, on my way to work and this happened to me today. My mind is at ease now that it's fixable.
Awesome video! It's exactly what I experienced from your great acting in the beginning in wondering what the noise was! lol! I love it! Your explanations and demonstrations were terrific. Thank you so much for presenting this. I will definitely like and subscribe! :)
And this has been your Roadkill Garage zip tie moment. LOL! Good video!
hahaha, the first 3 seconds of this video is pure gold, mate!!!! Well done
You did great work with this well made video! Excellent helpful information that I was struggling to find before I found your channel. Thank you.
How vital is the skid/splash shield? Mine tore away (parking stop block) and it's hardly hanging on.
Great video!! What would someone likely charge to do this if we can’t do this ourselves?
Hey man great Video i would also want to ask if The shield underneath the engine has also the roll to reduce engine noise really curious ;D
This was the video I was looking for, thank you!
Thanks mate I can fix my own splash shield now !
Hey thanks for sharing wish you guys were near me in Toronto need to get my splash sheild hooked back up
These splash shields are such a pain and overly expensive to replace. Great helpful video on how to patch it for free. Im going to try something similar. Mine is hanging and i need screws to put it in place. I used some zip ties like you. Amazing video. Thank you.
Great video, quick and to the point! What can you do if the clips.. become loose? Even with new clips?
Thanks so much for people like you!!
Does replacing this plastic protection cover with metal create a security risk?
Great tip. My slash guard is about like that. Now where do I find someone like you to help? Lol
How do you fix it yourself if you don't have the equipment to lift up the car? Would a regular jack work?
What are the sizes on the screws? I need to buy them
Thank you for teaching me something new (a woman). Not a pleasant sound when driving, but helpful to know what the cause was. 😂loose bolts or no bolts resulting in a currently bent underbody fabric cover. Now needing a replacement part or fixer-upper patch

Is there ever a back splash guard? Noticed I can see parts under my car and not sure if it fell off or if there was ever one. Can’t seem to find much online about it. Stuff just looks very exposed from what I last remember
What can you do about the shields that are made out of the fiberous type material? Zip ties would rip right thru. I have a 2016 Sorento with this issue.

Put metal washers where the holes are on both sides to prevent the tearing.

Mine (new) happend to catch a lot of water underneath due to a small city flood, just one street, and it developed a big belly wich goes like 3 inches lower than the original level, it scraps everywhere but...how do I fix this? is like having more material as it streched.
What tool you use to get it off
I have a Toyota Avalon that’s the same year as the white one in the background of this video… Oh how I would love to see the driver side interior door handle be replaced, or maybe the power steering rebuilt, or maybe replacing the visors… you get it. ;-) Keep up the great work.
Thanks, you just saved me a hundred dollars!
Thank you 😃
In the case of a 2004 Chevy Cavalier, the splash shield protects the belts from small rocks. Had this issue because mine was missing and one day I noticed the belt was chewed up and after removing it I found all these small rocks imbedded in it! Replaced the belt and splash guard and have had a issue again!

Nice idea man ❤❤❤
I ran over a curb last night....nothing fell off but it's lose on one side...
Nice fix
You're a freaking genius ..Thank you
Can I just leave it off? I live in AZ not much rain or water here at all.
Unfortunately it didn't do my wife's car any good a couple winters ago when she hit a large chunk of ice on the road about the size of a basketball.....it pretty much destroyed the plastic shield under her Honda Civic. I took it to the honda dealer to have them remove what was left, and they estimated it would cost me about $250 to replace what was destroyed. I used a sawzall to get some of it off, they had to get the parts that I couldn't get laying on my side in the garage, haha.
It's called a nuisance cover and if cars were made so that they are not so low to ground you would not need it, else cars become mine sweepers!

"For me personally..." lol Thank you for the video!
I tried flex seal tape -- came off after a couple days. So zip ties.
That's awesome!!
How do trucks off-road in deep water without splash guards?
The doors on the splash shield are tied to the splash shield with zip ties. The zip ties keep breaking every couple of months. What can I do?
Thanks brother...
Each time I brought one off line it didn't fit had to send it back
That's bro, very easy solution
How long might this last.
you can also weld the plastic with the right tools
Thank you so much!!!
