My front wheel housing liner came loose(somehow) on the expressway yesterday and I absolutely ripped it to shreds. I had to remove it completely so I could drive. Just want to make sure it is OK to drive the car until I can get it replaced.

Thanks

You should be ok as long as you don't toss a rock and take out something the liner would have caught.

It also might not have perfect air movement -- brake cooling, radiator cooling, etc.

So in short -- probably fine, keep an eye on things and get it replaced as soon as reasonable.

Imho these liners were installed to prevent components, under them, and sheet metal, fenders, structure etc from being struck by stones or other road debris. Of course you can do damage but also affect the anti corrosive treatment that protect those sheet metal parts..... At least stay away from gravel roads.....

Thanks everyone. I plan on getting it fixed in the next day or so. Just wanted to know the risks. Appreciate it.
