Loose underpanel...HELP!
Hi everyone,
I was cleaning my car today and happened to look at the underpanel when I noticed something disturbing. Near the front (just to the bottom right of the wheels there is a loose panel. The weird thing is, I see that the exact same panel is loose on the opposite side as well (also in the front)...my question, is this normal or did something get damaged? If so, any tips on how to repair?
Any help is much appreciated!
I have a bunch of pics I took here: http://imgur.com/a/aK3Ow
Thank you!!

Well, sounds like clips/screws came undone and it should be something under warranty - so take it in and get it fixed. If it's damaged, because you bottomed out or something, then you should be able to fix it yourself or have someone else do it for you and pay for it.

I just looked at your pics. I wouldn't worry about it. It looks like the end of the under panel material flexed by itself, maybe from weather elements or something... (live East Coast?) looks like a lot of salt under there... It won't hurt anything, cosmetic IMO, and from the pics, it looks like it'll just get replaced under warranty.

Phew thanks, was a bit worried there! 
Yes, I'm enjoying the lovely east coast weather of snow, freezing rain and sunshine (it's like it can't make up it's mind haha). Will the salt cause corrosion problems? I guess I should still take it in eventually to get it replaced under the warranty.
Thank you friend!
