Chip Guards
Anyone ever replace the chip guards on the rear quater panels? I have an '09 with the clear plastic ones. They are in bad shape.

Check the part number thread for the part numbers. "Stone guards" if I remember right.

They peel off and self stick on.

I did mine with clear vinyl like for a hood and bumper stone guard.
I bought a roll from Speedway Motors about $12.00.
The old guards come off with a little heat gun heat and patience!!

You sir are welcome!

I made CarMax put one on mine. I thought the bill I saw was only around $15-$20 each. They were paying so I didn't look close.

Of course, I never did figure how one was missing on a "never wrecked" vehicle.

There is a spray on product made for the purpose. I saw it in the NAPA store.
