I agree with rotr8 mines actually cracked straight down the middle and it rained bad one day while I was driving, that weekend I checked my oil and it was really frothy like cream, so I took it to get changed and he told me I had water in my engine, and it came from the cracked tray. Man I had to get an engine shampood cost me 160 for everything

sounds like someone got dicked.

only way water could POSSIBLY get in the motor is through the air filter, which is gonna get sucked through the bumper grill, not the undertray area.

the undercover is more for airflow aerodynamic/aesthetic purposes and to protect **** from flying up and damaging parts like your radiator and condensor
