Repair an R230 Mercedes front tray that was flapping about at speed. I suspect that one of my parents ran it onto a parking stop, said “Oh Crap!”, and immediately reversed rather than using ABC to lift the body first, and THEN reverse.

I can almost never go to any store without hearing the all-too-familiar scraping sound of someone running their front tray over a curb.

I recommend the use of duct tape, and some zip ties.

Solid fix, known to last for months

It’s the factory fix, so long as you use the branded Mercedes-Benz duct tape.

Clearly the best and only option is to have no front tray. Or (alternate take), own a Plymouth Prowler and armor the living shit out of the bottom beak edge so you hit the curb with that and only that.

It’s in reasonable enough shape to pop it back in place.

Although an armored beak on a Prowler would be pretty interesting.

It’s pretty much the reason to own one
