2012 XK - rear exhaust box heat shield adrift...
Discussion
Hi.
Noticed this weekend that the flimsy aluminum 'tin tray' type heat shield above the back box has come adrift and is simply sitting loose on top of the back box. And rattling obviously.
The 4 bolts are still in place and the tray has simply failed around the bolts and fallen through them. This means that the holes in the tin tray are now bolt sized.
Rather than buying a new shield (that will probably fail just the same and cost me a packet to buy and get fitted) it feels like the easiest solution will be to re fix mine with some large washers - but not sure how easy it will be to get to the the front two bolts ?
Has anyone on here experinced the same issue ?
Thanks
