    Something fell off my car!

    I washed the car this afternoon, and after I parked it in the garage and dried it off I noticed that below piece of rubber had fallen off. Whatever it is it is not very well secured, so I can only guess it is some sort of rubber stripping for transport only and maybe should have been removed at delivery.

    Any ideas? It is about the size of a 40cm ruler, very thin rubber. It came off the front and was lying just under the front edge of the bumper on the ground.



    Cheers

    I'd expect it is a sealing strip around the air conditioner condensor or the radiator. Light weight to flex and allow air to leak out but not back in.

    Is it needed? Should I put it back on?

    Doesn't look to be very well secured. It just fell out.

    Yes you should....

    I'm guessing it was knocked loose whilst fitting bullbar or service.

    It actually holds itself in quite well...

    Thanks. No bullbar and certainly no service - car is only 3 weeks old.

    I must have bumped it whilst washing the car, or the pressure from the hose has hit it or something.

    Anyway, can you be more specific about where it goes? Top or bottom, access from above below, etc, etc.

    Cheers
