Hi. I am doing my coolant change now on the DIY. One of the 10mm nuts on the lower tray broke, so one half is in the screw hole. It's impossible to get out. Can I run my car with no under body tray? If I attach one side the other is going to be left hanging.

I would appreciate your response. Thanks,

Chad

From my understanding, the stock undertray helps significantly with cooling and airflow to the radiator and engine bay.

Try a screw/bolt extractor, or hack up a little zip-tie fix. Otherwise you run a very real chance of overheating.

There should be multiple attachment points all around so even if one breaks (they always do) it's still mostly attached?


What you could do is drill out the broken bolt and use a ziptie in it's place to hold the undertray.

You definitely need the undertray for cooling though.

Thanks, I did a zip tie.
