Underpan/Splash Guard on 2012 2.0T

[Omnibar]

It happened... the first real problem I've had with this car. I was leaving the gym parking lot and as I reversed the car, I heard a loud crack and a scraping noise. Turns out I parked too close to the curb and the underpan? or the splash guard, whatever you call it, got cracked and was hanging off the car.

I was able to break some of the plastic off so that it wasn't scraping the ground when I drove, but the rest is still hanging on, broken and unsightly. I tried to get it off, but the 3/8 inch socket I had was too small for the screw and the 7/16" too big... anyone know what size this thing is?

I'm guessing 13/36 or 14/36...

This seems like an easy fix, but does anyone have experience with this?

These screws on my 2011 3.8 sedan are metric, either 8 or 10 millimeter. The ground clearance of the lowest part I measured of the under carriage on my Genesis is about in the center of the engine with a ground clearance of 5 1/2"

In addition to the millimeter sockets you will need a Phillips head screw driver since there is a push in screw holding the pan up also.

Those Koreans and their metric I should have figured that out, but now I know what the 8 stands for on the screw head.

Thanks for letting me know about the Phillips head. The only thing keeping the underpan on right now is the sockets, so I didn't see those. I could probably still drive around for a bit with the underpan off completely, but will probably just drive to the dealership and have them buy the parts for me.

Aha I found it https://www.hyundaipartsdepartment.com/parts/2012/HYUNDAI/GENESIS%20COUPE/2.0T/?siteid=217704&vehicleid=1502561&section=BODY%20HARDWARE&group=RADIATOR%20SUPPORT&subgroup=RADIATOR%20SUPPORT&component=Under%20cover

Apparently it's called an under cover and only costs ~$30-40 bucks. For my car it was attached with 4 hexagonal screws and no Phillips head. I bought the socket and got the front 2 screws off, but was unable to reach the back 2 as I was not on a ramp. Glad this was a cheap fix.
