There's a rubber mat attached from the lower radiator mount to the bumper that is the splash shield / road guard. On my 2003 Ford Expedition, the part number is 2L14 8B407 AD . I think it also goes by part # 2L1Z 8327 AA. I have attached a picture I found online of the mat.
Where it attaches to the bumper, there are small holes in the mat and it attached using the standard push-in type wide head plastic body & trim rivets. In the picture these are circled.
The holes through the rubber mat have given way and are jaggedly torn open.
Has anyone replaced this air deflector mat? Or, has anyone had any success repairing the mounting holes in this rubber mat material. It's probably the same material that you would find in the fender well.
Thanks for any advice
