Corolla S Lower Valance-How to attach?

[netpicker9]

Hi,

I have 04 corolla S. Driver side lower valance got disconnected.. and the plastic sheet near the font tire also disconnected because of this lower valance (lower valance holds it). That plastic sheet touching the tire and making noise while driving.. How to connect lower valance and plastic sheet back to car.. I see there are white plastic bolts on lower valance.. where to buy those? (good ones lower price)..

Bad explanation .. I hope someone understands...

That plastic sheet is your wheel surround, keeps road crap from flying up into your fender, mine popped out too in front and my tire wore a hole in it before I could get home. I think it cost around $45 at the dealer. if it's not damaged It should pop right back into place you might have to pull the fender out a little but the plastic connector holding the valance to the surround might be broke. there's only a few screws/retaining clips holding it mostly it's a snap in fit. As for your front valance you must have hit something to disconnect it and the surround too, might be all damaged and scratched up...Anyways I have a blow up diagram of where the brackets holding the valance on are, I'll post it later...

A Toyota dealer is your best bet, you'll pay top$ but it beats running around looking for someone who carries something like that since you don't have a retaining clip to show them, if you go into a Toyota part places they will have a computer blow up showing you everything connected to the valance/surround with part numbers. that's what I would do! Good luck, I'll put that blow up on later!

Here's a blow up, looks like just 4 clips and a screw and easy to put on, I also found you an inexpensive after market wheel surround/fender liner on ebay if you're going to replace the worn one! Toyota parts will print you out a blow up with all clips/screws for the fender liner and the valance connect, good luck, I hope this helps!
