    All the sudden outta nowhere this HORRID rattling started underneath passenger side and you gotta put her in neutral at stops it's so bad. Climbed under ten minutes ago found this shield pulled away and wondered if i could pull whole thing off without causing more issues? Anyways Bolt popped through thin aluminum or whatever flying all over the Screenshot_20210129-154556_.jpg place.

    If it were me, i would try to save any heat shield or at least replace with a comparable one if at all possible.

    Behind the heat shield, at least on my 2018, there is gas line, rear brake lines and a wire harness...
