What do you call the plastic skirt under the door?
The plastic panel under the door is called the side skirt. Also called lower beam or lower skirt. Because this part is plastic material, it is easy to scratch, so it is extremely easy to damage. The effect of the side skirt is equivalent to the air dam, which is used to reduce the airflow on both sides of the body into the bottom of the car. There is a certain effect of turbulence, and the air resistance can be significantly reduced under certain conditions.
The side skirt is a part of the body spoiler kit, aesthetics is second, if installed properly can reduce the adverse airflow generated by the vehicle.
At high speed, it is like the ground sucking the chassis, which greatly increases the operational stability, and is used with the front and back spoiler skirt, which is necessary for modification. Turbulence, so that the wind resistance generated when the car runs at high speed smoothly from the bottom of the car, will not cause the vehicle to drift.

Use dent repair tools: Although the bumper plasticity is very strong, but sometimes the strength of hot water expansion can not meet the repair needs, at this time can use external force. Sag repair tools can be purchased online to meet repair needs.
Hand top after unloading: For small depressions, the owner can try to remove the car screws, put his hand into the inside of the body skirt, and push hard at the back to restore the depression.
Professional sheet metal repair: For the metal and aluminum alloy material of the lower skirt sag repair, relative to the plastic material is a little more complicated. Slight dents can be pulled out by pulling the mesons, if the pull can not move, you need to go to the 4S shop for cutting, welding on the new corner material, professional repair.
Choosing the right repair method depends on the material of the skirt, the degree of depression, and whether it is easy to operate from the inside. For the skirt of plastic material, the use of hot water or professional adsorption tools to pull is a relatively simple method. For the skirt made of metal and aluminum alloy, more professional technology and equipment may be needed to repair it. If the depression is not obvious and does not affect the use, it can also be considered not to repair.
