Caught the plastic under the front bumper directly beside the wheel, it’s cracked off a small bit when when I look in I can see wires for the light. Is it bad if water gets in here? What’s the part called that I’m looking for?

Hello,

I believe this part is called the Front Fender Liner. All of the wires should be insulated and the connectors should have water proofing on the locks, but you never know with wear and tear how reliable the weather proofing is. I would recommend replacing the part at your earliest convenience, but it should be okay until then. I hope that this helps.

Thanks,
Alex
