Mylar is a dielectic, but not an RF insulator.
As for an update, I have none since I've not driven my car since they started salt/sand the roads - around late November. It'll be next month before I fire it up again at the earliest, and even then it may only be to change the oil as that's when I plan on doing all my vehicles (they get changed annually)
Sorry...
