RA122122

Not sure what's causing this fibersorb felt to rip on my 2019 Ecoboost.
Part Number: JL34-7A035-BC (most recent dealer installed), JL34-7A035-BA (original factory installed)
When searching online: JL3Z-7222-C seems to be the correct part number.
Dealer says if I remove the plate completely, it will be fine.
Has anyone else removed this part because you had this same issue or got sick of taking it off for every oil change?
I've since removed it.

Should still be under warranty. I'd try to get them to replace it. I plan to do the same. My dealer is good about this kind of stuff.

My dealer replaced it the first time under warranty no problem. I would just like to know the cause since my warranty is up soon.

Common cause I've read is from when it hangs down while being removed. Lots of recommendations to leave in one bolt and swivel it aside.

Seems that a medium percentage of folks with a damaged one just leave it off. Or replace it with something metal.

Buy it, you'll like it. No more droopy fabric splash guard.

Thats good to know! Thank you!
I'll probably just leave it off.

Thank you! Much more reasonably priced than: https://rcimetalworks.com/product-ca...0-skid-plates/

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll just take it off myself prior to taking it in for my ford pass free oil changes so the tech's can't find a way to wreck it..
