Front tire wind deflector detached

[davidliu]

Noticed the deflector detached yesterday. Looks like there was supposed some kind fastener to hold them together. But it’s gone. Not sure what caused it.

Did you park too close to a parking curb? Those will catch for sure.

Lucid calls these “airfoils.” I’ve now replaced my left one twice thanks to my garage entry due to them snagging. The pro is they are relatively cheap (like $20 or something) but they do snag on low curbs or driveways dips, so be careful.

It is not unsafe or anything to drive without them, fwiw.

I’m pretty careful to avoid catching them. Maybe they are partially fragile?

There is a screw on the back, the front and sides you can simply press the tabs back in place unless the piece is damaged.

Careful or not, they do pop off when caught enough times.

That said, if it’s not damaged you can just pop it back in.

Oh, where did you buy them?

Service will replace them for you.
