Getting a road vibration rattle over 40 MPH. It actually sound like the cladding is vibrating. It doesn't seem to be a metallic noise like a shield. It doesn't increase with speed. Any known issues along this line?

Yes, the undercarriage cover is held in by plastic retainers that fail. You need to replace each and every one of them with stainless steel fender washers and M6 nuts.

Thanks for the info! Had it in the air today found bolts are stainless and tight. Couldn't find anything underneath loose. So, it is either going to get louder or looser or fall off. Eventually I'll find it.
