    Driver's Side Engine Cover (inside wheel well)

    Inside the driver's side wheel well there's a plastic cover that goes on the inside to keep stuff out of the engine. When I took the wheel well liner out to fix the timing belt in my wife's car I took this piece out too. But now I can't figure out how it's supposed to go back on and can't find any pictures of what it's supposed to look like installed. Can anybody take a picture of theirs and post it here?

    Yeah, I remembered where it went but I can't remember how it's supposed to go and what it attaches to.

    There are two shields that look like that, one mounts to the right frame rail in the wheel well and the other to the left frame rail in the wheel well. The one in the pic you posted looks like its for the passenger side. If you jack the car up in the front, make sure you put jackstands under it for safety, jack it up and turn the steering wheel toward the passenger side. That shield will attach to the bottom of the frame rail just behind where the windshield washer fluid tank is. It only fits correctly in one direction.

    Ah, that's helpful, thanks.

    Would you happen to have a picture of it mounted in a car?
