Ran over a stone... liquid rubber? - Toyota Yaris Forums

pip · 07-19-2010, 12:29 PM

Hi everybody.
I went camping yesterday and ran over a huge stone. The top of it (stone) got stuck under the belly of my yaris and took some paint and rubber layer off the bottom.
Does anybody have any suggestions where to buy a liquid rubber or "do it yourself" stuff to patch the bare metal so it doesnt get rusty?

Thanks

Most any store which sells automotive supplies, Walmart included, will have a Rust Proofing product in an aerosol can.

I do believe you only have undercoating under the car and it can be easily gotten at Orilleys or even from Home Depot. You might want to spray it on a windless day, cause the overspray burns the eyes... The thick coating also deadens the road noise, so I have like 3 thick coats on mine... LOL

Good luck with your endeavor... and stay off the rocks !!!

I think this is what was taken off the belly.. the undercoating. As it was a thick layer of rubber-like material. Ill buy a can of undercoating and try spraying it over the bare metal part.
Thanks.
PS: im new to cars and yari is my first one. Me and my wife love it.

Hasn't anyone told you that the Yarii are not rock crawlers!

The short story is: the rock was sticking out like 2-3 inches from the ground and i saw it but when we ran over it the weight mass of yari pushed it down to the ground in a such way that the underground part of that rock came up and hit the belly.
After this i feel like my yaris is a russian flying tank.

Thanks
