I make it a practice to avoid running over objects in the roadway but I'd be happy to take a look under there. I just crossed 7,100 mi last night, and no issues as far as it coming loose or noises/vibrations.

Thank you in advance. One thing I was also wondering, is whether you considered adding high-heat rubber or silicone washers to lessen the potential for rattles/noises?

Looks just like the day I installed it (although a little dirty as I drove through rain recently). Didn't need any washers and don't see any reason to worry about rattles or noises.

Besides mounting the screen with the frame towards the oil cooler to increse the mesh distance by a few mm to give more cushioning from large debris and using #8 screws instead of the supplied #6 ones, I also added a couple of zip ties around the cooler support clips to the screen, decreasing any possibility of vibration of the screen over it's span substantially.
