I completely removed the heat shield, would that be a problem?

For me it sounds like the plastic from the rear hatch vibrating but i could be wrong. Please let me know if this is what you are hearing and it IS actually that heat shield piece that you removed in the picture above.

I saw your post on the FI exhaust thread and Tony said to bend the corner away for my clearance. Please let me know what you did to resolve it. Its drving me bonkers!

Thanks!!!

Yup I bend the corner like the instruction said.. but it was still vibration, so I removed.

RESULT: The rattle from the back that sound like the metal is completely gone. I am happy.

However there are some rattle (plastic, not metal, coming from passenger side. I am trying to isolate that buy driving at that RPM range where rattle begin and putting my hand on stuff to see.

I also remove the Touring model retractable trunk cover and that HELP A TON!

BTW, I have Touring model with Bose, 7AT.

Hey all...

Same exact problem. Sounds like it's coming from inside the rear passenger hatch the vibration kicks In at about 3200RPMs to 4000RPMs... Doesn't sound like a metallic rattle, or something that a heat shield removal would cure. but more like loose plastic panels from the inside of the rear hatch, its seriously driving me NUTS... It is literally all I can hear when I'm in the car now... Very irritating. What the heck is this? I have been waiting for a nice day off when I can really get in to isolating, locating, and exterminating this issue. . . Still have not had a chance to.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that large heatshield the one over the fuel tank?? Shouldn't we NOT remove that? LOL
