Sienna Engine Under Cover needed

[silversalvage]

hello everyone,

i recently had a small accident on the freeway (drove over some debris) and it tore the engine under cover (part # 5144108030).

ive been trying to look for a replacement here in los angeles but cant find any (dealer has it for around $200 plus which is too much for me ).

i'd appreciate it if anyone there can tell me where to get a cheap replacement, even a used one would do...

its for a 2011 sienna LE .

thanks

thank you very much for the inputs....
i took out the torn under cover, and now i'm wondering....do i really need to replace it?...i mean the car is running fine without it..except that the front bumper cover has a little loose shake feel to it....

I would say replace it just to keep anything from going up underneath it while going down the road and possibly damaging your radiator or something else....

The cover essentially did its job. It's going to cost you ~$150 to replace the cover, but think about what it would have cost if the debris had taken out a radiator/oil/brake lines or just dented your oil pan. You'd be talking about a lot more cost.

So the above I think is pretty well thought out - now for speculation that I'm not qualified to make: I'd imagine that those covers have to help mpg by streamlining the car a bit more

How bad is the damage? Can you repair it with some duct tape?

If it can be repair, go to plumping section of your local home improvement store Lowes/home depot and get a small jar of ABS weld and use that instead of duct tape.
