Front plastic shield fell off

I thought I ran something over but apparently the front plastic shield fell off, now I’m looking at this.

Is there a cheap option for replacing this on a 2013?

 

Is $65 not cheap enough?

Looks like there weren't any bolts left holding it on...

 

Yeah, I’m guessing they rusted to hell.

 

By seeing how there’s a clean area there, are you sure someone didn’t deliberately take it off?

 

Maybe???

Maybe they didn’t put it back right after the steering rack surgery and it freed itself?

 

So I'm guessing when you thought you ran over something that was you going over the shield when it came off...?

 

my 2016 runner did it 2018 ....painted rustoleum high performance paint black then the bolts are on the threads anti seize lube ..I remove all those covers doing the oil changes and inspect all the parts and drive train fluids.
plastic shield is a person that will break it not tack it out ...

 

Went looking where I heard the noise and found this on the side of the road.

i need to find some screws now.

 

It’s good that your cover came back to papa!

I’m thinking the bolts and clip you need are these.

Looks no worse for having come off and been run over...

 

I was going slow down Oakland Av by the BART. But yeah…

 

The amazing part was that it was still there.

 

so all the screws fell off ....plastic had crack when the last screw ..
metric screws ..

 

They are not very proactive about picking up road debris around here.

 

Nothing that duct tape and bailing wire can't fix. Glad you found it.
