Changed my oil for the first time, and when I first opened the metal service bay cover (beneath the trunk floor panel) some of the screws just fell through to the washer without latching onto any thread. The second time I noticed that all but two screws didn't latch. It seems like they're losing some clip on the underside of the service bay cover that allows them to screw in. Anybody else experience this?
I have a Giant Defy that I'm planning to use as my commuter, but I'm going to need a rack to keep from getting a sticky back. Unfortunately, most of the bike racks I'm seeing are either bulky/hideous, incompatible, or extremely expensive (Tailfin). Any recommendations?
Hi all. Upgrading to a 90gal (48x24x16) rimless peninsula and I'm building the stand and canopy myself. I want to make a floating canopy as pictured:

However, this is my first woodworking project and I'm not sure the best way to approach this.
Tank stand 48x24, and the plywood skin will extend a few inches to cover the overflow then rise up to the canopy. Light fixture will therefore extend about 55in from the mounting point, and it's handing a t5/led hybrid so it'll be hefty. I'm not sure whether to use unistrut to mount the fixture to the wall and cover it with plywood, or to add 2x4 reinforcements to the stand and secure vertical unistrut to the stand itself and mount the canopy to that.
Really, I'm not sure what actually needs to be done to get this accomplished so I'm just fielding overall thoughts, ideas, and tips as I put it together. Thanks!
