the rubber flap that hangs down in front of the rear tires
#16
I need the whole assembly of plastic from front wheels to rear - sail panels I guess. Not a great offroader....maybe I just need a lift kit.

What kosmo said. The idea is to create a low pressure area at the rear wheel to help pull air out from under the car and through the wheel well which helps cool the brakes (among other things).
I do not recall every losing one of the rear ones on either of my cars but the front ones go away from wear/tear and road debris. I always whenever I notice or the techs notice one is gone to replace both of them. Ditto the small rubber "scoops" that hang down from the engine belly pan under the car.
Additionally I would like to install rubber flaps that hang down just ahead of the rear tires to deflect whatever the front tires kick up. This can cut down on the frequency of flat tires which occur most often at the rear tires. The front tire kicks up the nail or scrw and the rear tire picks it up. A flap ahead of the rear tire and hanging down low enough would deflect the nail or screw. We used to put a flap just ahead of the rear tire of a motorcycle for this very reason.

For those who don't know, Sonnen is about 10% cheaper than suncoast on most everything I order.

pull the side sill off, it's easy then.

There's a screw in front of the rear. Wheel in the wheel well. You may destroy a plastic screw or metal clip while removing. I found a last minutes substitute plastic screw at autozone as I'm not entering concourse show. If all else fails 2 plastic screws can hold it in, by pulling one from the other side. promise
