A parking curb with a particularly long piece of rebar sticking up, snagged the underside of my engine (2004 Prius) and ripped out a large, black cardboard (?) and cloth underside cover.
My dealer can't identify the part and thinks I'm hallucinating. Am I?

Every Toyota I observed on the Lube racks at my dealers last month had these.

According to the repair manual it is called an Engine under cover, there is a left and a right and they are $89.00 each. I am going to have the left replaced at my next oil change because of an incident with a parking curb. The dealer is going to do it for no charge during the oil change so they can't be hard to replace.

Thank you, thank you. My psychiatrist thanks you.

I'm really surprised your dealer didn't know about this. The mech has to remove one to change your oil and filter. They seem to be "clipped on and take several seconds to remove.

There's also two more plastic pieces that fit between the said engine under covers and each of the corners of the fenders/bumpers and are part of the wheel wells.

Could be one of these since the engine under covers don't have any insulation on them.
