so, replacing the tire shield trim on my 2009 corolla was a bit of a hassle. first off, I had no idea what I was doing. I mean, why do they make these things so complicated? I watched a YouTube video, and the guy made it look easy but let me tell you, it was a mess.
And the tools, man. I had like, three different screwdrivers but none were right. did I really need a torque wrench? who even owns one of those?
if you’ve done this, how did you manage? I ended up using duct tape for a temporary fix. kinda genius or total fail? you be the judge.
