    This is my 2008 Prius Touring. Backed up down a slanted driveway over a curb and a little scraping. This little metal piece, about a couple inches long, is bent and hanging off. Think anything is necessary to be done? I can't really bend it bag so it's flush because it's not staying. It looks like it's attached to the rest of a white piece with toggles or switches on it.

    It is located towards the passenger's door on the driver's side, about a foot or less in.

    there is a white plastic conduit with the brake lines and such in it which runs from the front to back that's about a foot in. you need to get under the car and see if its damaged. can't think of any other white plastic under there.

    looks like it might be replaceable without doing the whole conduit. or make a new piece out of sheet metal. looks like it's just held on with a couple 10mm nuts.
