Heat shield location
Hi All
I had a bit of a mishap today with my 08 hatch. I was turning into a parking spot at a rural location, didn't notice a rock sticking up and ended up bottoming out on it, getting stuck somewhere on the exhaust path. Managed to get off with seemingly little damage, namely broken off heat shield. Does anyone have a picture where it is installed so I can understand where it was originally? Thank you. Attaching a picture of the part that broke off. |

No need to put it back.
It will rust off anyway. I can see that the holes on this one are already corroded through. Crappy Toyota design. |

Yeah, I appreciate that it may not be really necessary but it's cheap so I might be inclined to replace it.
It survived all these years in rust-belt conditions so could have been worse. |
