Hello croddy327: My name is Roger and I will give you an answer. THe part you are talking about should be a air dam.The purpose of the dam is to cool the engine while driving. By design the dam catches air and diverts it up to the radiator. With out the dam the cars engine will run warmer of could over heat. Please rate the quality of this answer. If this answers your question? This is how we know you received the correct answer. Should you need more help please just ask. Thank You for using FixYa. Roger

How do I replace or tighten rear bumper on a 2004 Volvo s40 I don't see any bolts?

Yes.
I see from pictures you have a plastic bumper.
These are held in place mostly with plastic clips that are fastened inside the fender where you cannot see them.
You will need to put the car up in the air to see what to do next.
Volvo dealers sell the clips, as so do a few car parts stores.
Those plastic bumpers are very poorly secured, and fall off easily on all cars.
You may also find ripped or torn plastic holes which is why it is falling off.
If you wish to fix it yourself, you may need to do some really "creative" work underneath the car.
God bless your efforts.

How do I fix the front bumper of a 2005 Chevy silverado 1500

Hi Van, Im AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair.

Van, you can fix this yourself. If you have a metal bumper and the piece hanging down is plastic, here what you can do. Go to Harbor Freight and buy a bottle of Guerrilla Glue, this stuff will fix anything. CAUTION: Do not get any on you hands because that's how strong it is. You'll need to hold it in place for a few minutes OR tape it up until it dries. Hope this helps and please visit my auto-repair-website: http://www.bigasautorepair.com/

My 2000 ford focus car was stuck in snow and when I finally got out of the snow bank, my car now has something hanging from the front end and it is making a really loud noise. It is having trouble exc

This is probably just a splash guard that came loose under the car and hitting or dragging. Take a look under for something big and plastic that looks out of place around the wheel wells and under the bumper.

How to replace the electric fan on 2000 jeep grand cherokee

You must remove the entire front bumper and you will want to remove the radiator as well. There really isn't enough room there.

Remove headlights.
To remove the front bumper, there are plastic clips around wheel well and under the front bumper. Then there are a couple of bolts under the hood and two bolts on the side (look from wheel well up). The whole thing comes off as one piece.

I was able to move (twist) the A/C condensor out of the way and not drain it.

Over heating

Well sometimes its the small things that count and on my grand am it took several mechanics to figure out the overheating problem. Under the bumper and between the grill/radiator are rubber flaps that hang down (to keep dirt from flying up from the road). Sometimes the plastic tabs don't hold them on or they rip from deteriating and hang down in front of your radiator. There was a small tiny piece of it hanging in front of my radiator causing it to overheat very badly. Took like 5 mechanics to notice this. No joke but i have replaced the seals and all but in the end it turned out being this problem. Very odd. You might wanna check into it. Look for anything that might be covering up the air circulation in front of the radiator and look very good because several people havnt noticed it. Wish i would have knew this before i started replacing gaskets and stuff.
