    Anyone else missing a bolt in the front skid plate? I kept hearing a vibration when i would shut my door, once i tracked it down, it was because the front skid plate was missing a bolt right behind the front lip spoiler. The factory hole is off and i cant install bolt until i upsize the hole...

    Did you have an oil change yet? Guessing whoever changed the oil took it off to do so and forgot to reinstall it

    The bolt hole in the skid plate is about 1/4 inch off, it won't even line up, and the paint is untouched so I don't think there was ever anything there. Going in for oil change and recall next week, looks like one more thing for them to look at.

    Loosen the other bolts a little and see if you can move the skid plate enough to get to the hole.
