Is this just a "skin wound"
Hi everyone,
On the drive home last night, through some pretty terrible rain I started hearing a strange noise at low speed.
On checking the car out the underbody protection panel seems to have broken (maybe the force of water from a huge puddle or maybe there was some debris in the water??). I've attached a video to show the damage.
Any ideas on whether this will be a major repair? FWIW doesn't seem to be leaking anything.
Thanks

Me neither at first but then I was able to open it up on VLC, I don't see any damage at all other than a cover needing to be replaced as mentioned by OP but in case I missed something I will check again, in the mean time for those who are trying to open the video to help OP check, use VLC, it worked for me.

I had a similar thing happen to me. There was an object in the road that I hit at high speed since I couldn't move out of the lane to avoid. In my case it punched a hole, not a tear like yours. The hole wasn't ginormous so I used Gorilla Waterproof Patch and Seal Tape in black. Incredible stuff and still on after many miles.
