DZUS/quick release fasteners for underbody panels?
Due for an oil change soon and already dreading having to remove/replace bottom aero panel. Anyone changed these to some kind of quick release fastener to speed up the job?

my 2013 has a small "trapdoor" access panel for oil changes - no need to remove entire belly pan.

was this not on all model years?

I'll check again when I'm under the car. I don't recall seeing one when I fixed the panel after running over something.

weird. it sure does make oil changes easy, though. i'd be pissed if i had to remove the whole undertray every time.

in fact, i'd look into making my own "trapdoor" if i didn't have one ....

Even easier on my G since that trap door ripped right off, still can't take the oil filter off without making a mess though. Horribly designed for that part.
