Loose Heat shield

[500]

I have a loose heat shield for the driver side muffler...any way I can easily repair this myself (the rattle stops if I slide my hand between the shield and lower fender) or does it require a trip to the dealer?

Thanks

Go to the dealership, you are under warranty still, I hope.

I am. I'm trying to avoid the trip there if possible.

Take a look on the bottom side of the bumper shield, the heat shield and the bumper are screwed together with 2 screws. Probably 1 screw is missing.

On my 986 there is an inner shield and an outer shield. If this is the same for you they should be clamped together. Also, you could probably just bend it a little to keep it away from the fender/bumper.

Thanks I'll check it out tomorrow.

Hi,

It looks like nut 12 holds on the heat shield.
