    Not sure how or when this happened, but my skid plate/ engine cover is not securely fastened. The two screws at the front are super tight and I’m not sure I can tighten them down all the way without stripping them. Yes, the metal spacers in the back are there. Anyone else have this issue or know what’s up?

    Here is a LINK to a 6 second video showing the issue.

    Do you do your own oil changes? If not, it seems the place that did, stripped the bolts out, or forgot to put them in. Just a guess on my part.
