Lower Deflectors Fasteners Failing


Recommended Posts

With all the rain and debris in the road, my mid lower body deflectors ripped off or the fasteners failed.. I took the time to document the repair for others. The next time you have your car up on ramps, look at the mid lower body deflectors and make sure they are attached solidly.. These lower deflectors are over $600 a pair from Ford... LH ( Drivers Side ) part number is CV6Z-5811782-B.  The RH part number is CV6Z-5811782-A. There is 3 different types of fasteners that hold these on each side. 3 each 10mm bolts. 3 each plastic rivet part number W711289-S300. You may be able to find something cheaper at your local auto parts store. 6 each Tucker fasteners part number W790373-S900.  In the pictures you will see some areas that tore out around the 10mm fasteners. I added some fender washers and epoxy the washer against the deflector. Install these last and wet. Don't try and glue them in thinking the hole will line up. Goop some epoxy on them and screw them in on your install. The Tucker fasteners are press fit. Make sure the little fingers on the upper side spread out and lock the fastener to the deflector..  The reason I was concerned about the driver side deflector is that it covers your high power wires from your battery. DSC07447.thumb.JPG.798d71576cd6ef4a7e39524455f3699c.JPGDSC07451.thumb.JPG.bea20069a7793b7e754c4a46996e044a.JPGDSC07453.thumb.JPG.71abb0df2f786488cd91b74364dafcff.JPGDSC07455.thumb.JPG.b3101bd16ca75dd0cc61c0df90132826.JPGDSC07450.thumb.JPG.57c67ca9ed209b6f393278dc57fc3de9.JPG
