Fellow TC owners,
Does anyone laugh at the plastic bubblewrap heat shield that Bobcat uses on the bed of the TC to protect it from engine heat...I mean, is is just for demonstration purposes and you are supposed to replace once it melts away (as mine did long ago), or is this piece of plastic that is probably recycled from UPS or FedEx padded envelopes meant to last forever.
I am replacing the shriveled mess with ZeroClearance from ThermalSound Direct™*-*High Performance Thermal*&*Acoustic Solutions - For Less! which is what should have been used in the first place.

PS>>> I am totally into recycling, and if the use of these padded envelopes is an effort at recycling, I applaud Bobcat's effort. But I suspect that the whole thing was an overthought which prompted a hasty solution, at minimal expense...you know they don't make much money on these things!
