"When I go over 45 I can hear a scraping sound"

That's a patented safety feature to let folks know you're coming.

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

"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.
