Exhaust heat shield repair options

Tags: #exhaust · #heat-shield

The undercarriage heat shield (thermal screen) protects the cabin from exhaust heat. Options: (1) replace it with a compatible shield sourced from any compatible donor vehicle body; (2) DIY-repair the existing shield with a high-temperature silicone sealant, specifically T-7000 PRO, if it's cracked/degraded rather than missing. Either approach prevents heat transfer into the interior. Source consulted: Yury T, a local expert based in Tolyatti ¹²³⁴⁵.
