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

Good idea, but you need that expensive, tool, right? Mine is fastened securely, and I remove that cover no more than about twice a year.

No special tools. A dab of loctite, one reusable nut and two wrenches. Anyone can look up the pelican parts DIY:

What Can I Do?
I lightly touched a concrete bumper in a parking lot and my right front splash guard became loose. My friend got under the car and removed it so that it wouldn’t rub on anything and I took it to the dealer today to have them reattach it. Service tech came out and said they couldn’t reattach it because the engine cover was missing. I was pretty shocked and said I think I would notice if I lost the engine cover while driving. The service tech said that it didn’t look like it was ripped off. It was just missing. I brought the car back home and my friend got back under the car and said that the engine cover was there when he took the right front flash guard off.
Is this a common scam? My friend is positive that the engine cover was on the car before I took it to the dealer. What should I do?

Honda really messed up with the design of the two rear attaching points. I don't know why they thought plastic-into-plastic was the best design. I use the standard plastic push fasteners (like the use elsewhere on the car) to hold that in place. That's on my son's car. On my car - done first - I used steel pins with clips though them. Similar to below.

A lot of it is, just the roads you're driving. When I lived further away from work and was mostly doing highway miles, I would be in the mid 40's mpg consistently. Even got almost 48 MPG on one tank. Now that I live in town and18 miles from work, MPG is consistently low to mid 30s.
