That one in the picture isn't attached btw.
If you're missing one, it might handle a bit oddly. If its like that for a few days or so you should be ok, I just wouldn't leave it like that any longer than necessary.

Cause I don't have one on the driver's side:
Ok to drive? Obviously I won't be auto crossing the car, but how quickly should I get this fixed?

Seeing as I haven't really driven the car yet I wouldn't even know what it SHOULD drive like. LOL!

I noticed this morning that the passenger side metal strap is almost rusted through as well.

Over here I was struggling to get them for a reasonable price so I made my own..
Very easy to fit compared to the originals.

LOL... I saw the original tin and thought...
Dude. That wont hold!
Then saw the bent metal. Good job!If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.
