What is this rubber thing?

And is it falling off or supposed to be this. It's like this on both sides and just sorta hangs there. I'm guessing it's for aerodynamics.

I assume it's a mud flap of some sort but yours has definitely broken...

Can someone take a picture of their front end like this. I'm curious what it's supposed to look like.

It's called a "Pressure Lip Seal" on RealOEM and it's to divert air from going in your wheel well and decrease aerodynamic drag. As you've figured out, it's a flimsy piece of crap that is easily torn. After replacing both sides once, I said screw it and just ripped them off completely the next time they tore.

Thanks for the info! I even thought it might had been a pre-sell piece that was never removed. I will be recycling these for sure.

That's the driver side ( left ). 51119802643

Check and see if the other side is gone or damaged. People catch these on curb and stuff.

Here is the right hand side ( passenger ) . 51119802644

You will need to see it the push pins are missing / damaged. Count up how many you need. 51471911992

Thanks

Nope. But that's a good idea.
