Actually, I tried duct tape, but every time it snowed or rained I had to put more on.

Well, OK, I dunno, but I'll give it a BTT. :-(

Oops! Didn’t think of snow angle, being from SF Bay Area & all.

LOL. I did see some folks looking back at me when I glanced in the rear view mirror. The sound is kind of loud.

You should have used a zip-tie and duct tape for a more permanent solution.Whoa there...I don't think we're dealing with McGyver here.

That’s why you add the zip-tie. Also, a little squirt of WD-40 never hurts anything.

OMG, it's a piece of a Glock!
Did you hear a thump when you ran over the attempting perp?
Better start putting a piece of scotch tape over the hood to see when someone's been tampering under there.
Okay, I have no idea but notice I waited until someone gave you an informative response.

Likely under body cladding. Cuts down drag and keeps out mud. Probably need to go to a dealer and replace the fasteners which likely came undone or failed. Most modern cars have stuff like this and it falls off easily. Had it happen to my car, it only cost $25 for a new piece.

Isn't the rule of thumb that if something needs to move but doesn't, squirt it with WD-40. If something is moving but shouldn't, duct tape it. ?

I got behind a woman in an Audi the other day with the same sort of thing happening. The fasteners in the middle of her plastic shield had come out and whenever she got over 40mph, it began flapping up and down, scraping the road then slamming up against the bottom of the car. Kinda looked like Pacman or a fish or something.
When she slowed down, it stopped and went back up to where it belonged. I’m sure her’s has broken off by now too.
Nylon ties.

"My lease is up soon and it's not worth putting more $$$ into the car, since I'm a good customer and they never penalize me for returning cars with minor problems in the past, when the lease is up."
The other one's loose, so it would be easier to remove the last screw and take it off. Just save the pieces and toss them in the trunk when you bring it back. They'll have a detailer stick 'em back on, or toss them when they clean it up. Else you'll have to go to the parts store for clips and screws, jack it up, go under and reattach them.
