Angry 2006 350Z Touring Skid plate

So, apparently, some of the rear holes were stripped and the fasteners no longer stay in place to hold the rear of the skid plate and it drags on the highway at high speeds. Anyone experience this and if so, what repair was done to keep the skid plate secure? Thanks

Drill & tap. And/or maybe helicoils. It's not a highly stressed part so either should work fine.

I did the "drill and tap" repair. That solved the problem.
