URGENT - Help needed with Undertray
A couple of weeks back, most of the plastic undertray beneath my radiator was blown away by some sort of animal carcass... I've just now found the time (and a garage) to get it taken care of. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get to a few bolts that are still holding the current damaged tray in place. If anyone has the slightest idea of how to do this, please let me know.
*pics below*
Picture of the damage.
Pic of the new undertray in front of the car.
Pic of the undertray itself.
At best guess, the only bolts that aren't coming out are the three along the section that "stands up" on either side of the tray... Again, if anyone can offer any help with this (or point me to a thread if this has been done before), it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Haha, looks like I do... If you hadn't mentioned that I would never have known there was such a part. lol. Looks like I'll have to order that too.
Oh, and thanks again for posting those diagrams. I finally found the other bolts I couldn't spot at first (can't believe how obvious they were once I knew where to look...). Just got the tray off, underbody washed, and the poor frog that got wedged in there somehow has been removed. Should be able to replace it in no time. Thanks!

Since you have the tray off I would get some sort of screen for that radiatot. RB makes one, and the hardest part of the install was trying to get that stupid tray off.

Sure I had to hose off some frog guts, but I never would have imagined a frog getting stuck in the underbody. Yucky!

Mine is messed up too, hit a flattened green plastic trash can at 70 mph that popped out from under an SUV. RB screen saved the AC. It got stuck under the car and melted to the cat.
