Front undercarriage cover sagging?

does anyone else have this problem? i gave the front undercarriage a good look today, and noticed that one side of the access cover (passenger side to be exact) is sagging a bit, enough to scrape the ground on ramps apparently. all the bolts and clips are there...so i don't know if it's normal or not. anyone else notice this?

I haven't taken a close look at mine, but I do scrape on driveways occasionally. I'm lowered on Eibach springs though, not sure whether you're at stock height or not.

i'm thinking the same thing...honestly the plastic cover wasn't very well made, especially how it's in like twenty different pieces.

i'm on stock height and i still scrape it every so often, on even the smallest ramps. all the bolts checked out fine, so i guess the next step is either taking the entire piece apart or just rip it all off and slap a beatrush on there.

Yeah mine sagged and the thing scraped so bad before I noticed it one of the pieces ripped off. Now the dealer wants to charge me $700 to replace it lol. Looking maybe to find one cheap maybe someone took theirs off and has some of the pieces for sale.

Honestly, those clips are so cheesy not what you'd expect out of a 35K sports sedan...

Mine had the EXACT same problem...I spent a half hour under there before I noticed the missing clip up in that little gap.

I would just double check to make sure all of the clips are in place, and that all of the panels are properly installed. If that is the case then your panel is just shot and needs to be replaced.
