Question Small Cover Under Car Falling Off

Hey all,

I realize this is a minor thing, but I noticed this cover under the front end of my car seems to be falling off.

It appears that there is a third screw or bold that is missing. Does anyone have any idea where I could get a replacement for this?

Thanks in advance,
BIll

It's actually hinged across the back and is broken. Mine came apart a couple years ago, but was also broken where one of the bolts goes. I just cut it off and left it as is.

Good idea. I ended up doing it and it seems solid enough.

Isn't that the hole for oil change/oil filter? If you don't want to or can't fix it properly you're probably better off just removing it. Securing it with zip ties, especially if you don't do your own oil changes, will be a pain each oil change as it will have to be removed and you'll end up back where you started.
