How urgent is it to replace the wheel well lining? Mine came loose and fell halfway off after a nasty incident with a curb, and I ended up having the remove the whole thing for safety, since most of the screws had disappeared...

Your car isn't going to fail you or anything for not having reattached it, but it's important to keep dirt from entering all the components that the shield covers. I'd get it on. It's simple - just some plastic bolts and a screw or two (at least on my 2005 sedan). If the plastic bolts fell off, you can pick some up at your local dealership in the parts department, and may be able to find them at an auto store (advanced auto, etc).

My 2008's rear liner is coming loose. I attribute this to a trip to the mountains.

Any idea where to buy them? It needs a complete replacement.

Because it's specific to your vehicle, I'd head to the dealership. However, there's myriad of OEM parts available online. You may want to first do a check online (for pricing reasons), however it will probably be an intense search because they aren't exactly an in-demand item.

But the dealership can definitely get one for you. You could even say that you noticed it was hanging the last time you picked your car up after having it serviced, and then it just got damaged (sometimes being sneaky can also be cost effective lol).

Let me know if you are able to find one online so I can utilize the site as a resource.
