My car doesn't have the circled plastic piece to secure the bottom portion of the Scoop. Anyone else run into this? Will the scoop be secure enough just taped and screwed at the top?

yes it will be secure with just tape and screws.
RPi has a forum that you can go check out if you have questions regarding install.

Not sure why you don't have that piece. But it should be ok with tape and screws at the top.

Can you take a picture of that area and email it to me? If you dont have that section then a 545 scoop would work. Email the pic to me just to be sure though

This has been solved. I sent back the old scoop and they sent me a 545 scoop and I will be installing it this weekend.
