I'm on my second valence, the first one was lost somewhere just outside a dealer (wierd, heh).
The valence, as you may know, is that piece of undercover that roughly covers the bottom of your radiator, foglights, and that general area.
Any way, as I said, I lost the first one. Once I was driving I heard something dragging underneath, but visual inspection shows nothing. I pulled into a tire place and they finally spotted the valence was loose. They zip-tied it back into place.
Two months later, it came loose again (different section). I headed to my dealership and it came completely loose right outside the service bay door.
I didn't realize it at the time, but when the advisor looked underneath, it ain't there, and I spotted something right outside.
By then about a dozen cars have ran it over.
Any way, I had to custom order one (100+) and got it installed (another $100).
That one came loose last week. :P I tried duct-taping it, but guess it didn't quite help. I was making my way to my machanic gingerly when something was REALLY dragging. I stopped and looked... The valence is hanging by a SINGLE screw, and it has rotated under my car, and I can't reach it. I figure if I drive slowly I can make it to my mechanic...
It tore loose after two blocks. I quickly turned on my hazard flasher and tried to retrieve it, but by then two cars have ran it over. It also tore loose the right body panel support post (the one place the screw was holding onto).
I've ordered the attachment points and I'll see if I can reattach it. But I guess, what I want to ask is... did any of you ever lose your valence? Or am I just having the darndest luck?
