undercarriage panel
Good Morning!
I am new to site and have a question. I own an 2011 E-350. Recently ran over a bicycle tire and sprocket and it punched a hole in the panel below the drivers side door. Contacted my insurance company, just in case. Is this a easy fix?
I have been unable to "search and find" this panel.
Thanks!

are you talking about the feltish panel that runs along the underbody?
I had one replaced by the dealer because it was torn upon delivery....
I found the paper, but could not determine a part number, I'm certain the dealer could tell you, I do recall it wasn't expensive, although they did cover it.....
good luck

Yes Hyper, That is the panel damaged. I hit the bike parts at 70 mph and the tear is under the drivers door about 16" long. Do not think there is any other damage but we are putting on the rack Monday.
Thanks for the reply

Incident was on I-295 and car in front of me clipped the bike parts and kicked into my lane. Nowhere to go...Must have fallen off a bike rack of another vehicle which I did not see and nobody stopped on shoulder..I do not think any other damage but we will see when we get it on the rack. I reported to insurance as was not sure of extent of damage. Interesting they said since the object was "moving" when I hit it would be covered under comprehensive.
