Anyone else get a loose engine splash shield under their car?

Yes. I hit a raccoon. There's a thread about it. It would be more hassle than it's worth to go back to the body shop that did the bumper work. I'll just deal with it. Prolly the raccoon damaged it. IDK. It was dark out.

I do most of my own work, and I'm careful about removal and installation. Still, the two rear plastic screws were always a nuisance. I'm glad I'm through with them.

Does anyone know the size of those 6 sheet metal-type screws that hold on the shield? They look like a #10.
Edit: I got #10's to work. Might as well have the shield on the car as on the wall.
Shield is back on car. God's back in Heaven. All's right with the world - for now.

I had one that I brought home off of my daughter's 2016 Fit. I was going to order a bunch from McMaster Carr. Unfortunately I lost it and I do not know the correct size to order. You can get them from Honda at $6.00 each or from McMaster for about the same price for a package of 10 or 20.

Sheetmetal screws don't care about metric.

No but the size if the speed nut does care. Length, width, distance to the center of the hole, size of the hole, and inside space is all measured in metric. There might be something close that is not metric that would work.
I do not have time now to figure it out right now and order some. I am all tied up with taxes. Tax day is next Monday. I have three pair to do in two states plus a re-file of a pair from last year. I sure hope it is better next year. I hate doing taxes.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Honda "drop" the shield on future cars. (Pun intended )

Honda had an opportunity to do something with the shield when they made some changes to the 2018, but they gave it a pass. Pretty good bet that they're going to do nothing now for the rest of the GK life. Nothing will happen until the next complete redesign in a few years. If then.

I think they can build us a better undertray for our Fit http://lrbspeed.com they are base in Florida. I have their undertray for my RX7 and quality is top notch
