Plastic Engine Cover
So, you immediately think that I am taking about the ones on top right? Nope.
I have been chasing a "sound" on the front passenger side for a year now. Never could find it.
To make a very long story short, I discovered that the inner fender liner is attached to the engines front undercover in a way that pulls the bottom corners of the front bumper in.
I found out because I bought a replacement front cover and when I went to install it, I made sure it was done right. Guess what. No more rattle.
The sound was apparently the inner fender liner hitting the fender itself when you hit the "right " patch of road.
If you are missing the engine and transmission covers under your car, your front bumper will never really align the way it was designed. And unfortunately, that front piece is about $350. I found one in Dubai for $141 and jumped on it. Just passing on some out of the ordinary issues.

No. I did this in my Condo parking lot where we aren't allowed to work on cars. So had to do it as quickly as possible. What do you need?

Paul, are you referring to the car under cover, the one with lot of screws?
