Common Culprits behind Chrysler Town & Country Splash Shield Problems
Splash shields are great additions to your vehicle as they protect the components of your car from water that gets catapulted by the wheels. But over time, these develop problems and then break. Here are some culprits behind the damaged Chrysler Town & Country splash shield:
Missing clips
Any loud and unusual sound your minivan makes will make you pull over and look for the sound source. If you hear a loud rubbing noise that seems to be the loudest on the side of your vehicle, you may want to look at your wheels for any signs of problem. Usually, you may find a hanging splash shield that makes contact with the moving wheel. If this is the case, you have to check the edges of your splash shield and look for any missing clip because this is usually the culprit behind this problem. Keep in mind that the splash shield is secured by clips, and if any of them goes missing, the shield will most likely fall off. To avoid this, regularly check inside your wheel hub if all the clips are still attached to your splash shield. If there some are missing, you can buy replacement clips from any auto supply store and keep the splash shield in place.
Ripped plastic
Ripping or cracking is another common splash shield problem drivers need to look out for. This usually happens when your vehicle's splash shields are already old and brittle. That's why don't be surprised if one of your splash shields suddenly breaks over time. In the event they break while you're driving, you will most likely hear a loud sound too as the plastic material rub against the moving tire. Replacing the broken splash shield is the best solution as connecting the pieces back together using a basic glue gun isn't advisable at all. But if you're going to replace just one splash shield, you may want to replace the others as chances are they will also break off anytime soon. In this way, you can be sure that all the splash shields on your minivan are in good condition. Also, it's best that you check them for any signs of crack to avoid the discomfort of driving with a ripped splash shield.
You can protect your braking system and other components from water and road debris by installing a Chrysler Town & Country splash shield. This part will be your vehicle's defense against any harmful particles or substance that can cause rust and corrosion. But like all things, they also age, break, and wear out. To keep your splash shields in good condition, follow these tips:
Wash with warm soapy water.
When you're washing your minivan, don't forget to also clean your splash shields to remove any dirt and grime. Use a sponge to lather the mixture of mild dishwashing soap and warm water. Keep in mind that this part is exposed to water and road debris, which can really make its surface dirty, muddy, and even greasy, so it's a good idea to always clean the shields.
Clean with brake cleaner.
You can use a can of brake cleaner to remove dirt and grease on your splash shield. But be ready to use up a few more, especially if the splash shields haven't been cleaned for a long time.
Coat the plastic with paint.
If you're very particular with the detail and design of your vehicle, you may want to paint your splash shields. But make sure to apply a coating first before painting these parts. Also, you need to get the type of paint that can resist heat.
Make sure to check the clips.
The splash shield on your minivan is secured by clips or screws that may break or go missing. That's why you have to make sure that all of them are still intact every time you drive around, especially on long trips. Otherwise, you will be risking driving with a hanging splash shield that will produce a loud rubbing noise. Immediately replace any missing or broken clips to extend the life and use of your splash shield.
Look for any crack.
Over time, splash shields become brittle, resulting with the ripped plastic material. Although you can't really stop your splash shield from aging, you can, however, avoid the trouble of getting it ripped while you're on the road. You can do this by checking this part for any signs of crack. And when you have spotted a few, you should apply sealant to cover the cracks and monitor them regularly.
