My ex has an '05 Durango, and the black plastic air dam is partially missing... It's the part that tends to scrape on parking bumpers and curbs.

It's tempting to just cut the remaining portion off, leaving the flange that bolts to the bottom of the bumper, but it looks like the bottom of the bumper cover would flap around in the wind.

None of the used auto part searches even has a section for them. Have tried searching for "valance", "air dam", "lower fascia".... Not sure what to even call it if I call a local salvage yard.

Would appreciate any ideas.
thanks!

you can run without it with zero issues.

HTH,

Thanks for the info.

From what I could tell, the spoiler is bolted to the same brackets as the bumper cover on the ends (either pinched between, or on the back side of the bumper cover's mounting flange).... Also, the ramp that guides air up to the oil cooler is molded into the spoiler's flange. Would be nice if those were two separate pieces, as I'm sure the spoiler is replaced quite often on these vehicles.

Guess it's time to get the dremel out and remove the remaining chunk of plastic hanging down...looks like it's missing teeth as it is...lol

If I'm making this more complicated than it should be, please let me know.

thanks again

 

I have the same issue with my air dam, the dealership by me wants about $120.00 but this site has it for about $85.00.

Link doesn't work.

Many stocker parts online retailers will be less expensive that visiting the dealer directly. Dodgeparts.com comes to mind.
