Firewall blankie problem, Its falling on my oil cooler? Options

[davidcalvin]

Hi..

There is a blanket between my firewall and the engine. I suppose they all have this.. but mine appears to be falling and the wheel for the oil cooler (I think thats what that is) is burning a hole into the blanket.. ouch.

There are clips that appear to be there to hold the blanket up, but they arent really. There appears to once have been glue behind the blanket which may have been helping it to hug the firewall..

Can I fix this by just pouring some glue behind the blankie and pressing it back into shape?

If so.. what kind of glue should I use?

Photos follow :-)

Thanks,


David

Okay..

I yanked almost all of it. I'll pull the rest later. At least I can drive the car now without the.. ahem.. smog pump catching fire.

I didnt see any rust behind the blankie.. but I did notice that my battery tray is pretty rusty.

Who would I get to replace the battery tray? A regular mechanic or a body person? Oooh that kind of sounds sexy.. I want to be a body person. Anyway.. who does that kind of stuff?

Thanks again for all your help,

David
