does any1 know what the "black flap" underneath the front of the car is for? i just realized mine just came on done & is hanging 2 the floor. does it matter if it on or off? not sure if i should take it off & reattach it w/ some plastic tie straps. :blink:

Mine came loose also on a Deville, and I bought a new one for big bucks... I believe its utilized for a couple of reasons 1) to keep rocks from bouncing up and damaging your AC condenser and 2) to focus air through the radiator. You should re-attach it the best you can, they use black push fasteners originally. Mine came loose from the front end hitting curbs and bumpers and the black fasteners were damaged. HTH, Mike

You'll have better luck finding automotive fasteners at a pepboys or equivalent...

PLEASE ... don't use drywall screws...

i used black heavy duty zip ties. Put those on 2 years ago, and haven't touched them since. And you cannot tell unless you get up under the car looking for it.

I used zip ties a few weeks ago. Looks great now! My mom said that it was flapping in the wind while I was driving before, lol. :D

Zip ties work well especially if the push tab holes in the rubber are torn. Here's another discussion on the same subject. http://caddyinfo.ipbhost.com/index.php?sho...747&hl=zip+ties

Thought I'd get one last post in before I have to get ready. ;)
