Portion of the under belly lining ripped, how do i repair it?

ronnieshih · 11-18-2009, 07:27 PM

I can guess 90% that Discount Tires ripped a part of the under belly lining off because some dude put the jack pad at the wrong location when they put my car on the lift! Portion of the what looks like paper/plastic composite under belly cover lining material is ripped off by the jack pad and I would like to know if there is anyway to repair this. I was about to put duck tape on but that seems too ghetto on a bmw. The size of the rip is about 2"x3" and yes, I still have the ripped off piece and can match it back pretty good. Seems too expensive to replace the entire piece.

thanks for your help.

Uhh, Discount Tire should be responsible for replacing it. Did you not notice till later, or you noticed and didn't make them do anything?

I didn't notice until much later so now it's hard to dispute the fact that they damaged it. I've never bottomed out or scraped the bottom of the car either.

I had the entire underbelly lining replaced at the dealership for under $300 with labor just for reference.
