You can warm food in the rear trunk with the shield inplace. It can get up to 125 in there.

Then again, I don't have an engine in the car..... |

Remember, these cars were built for a price. If they could have left the shield off, they would have! I'd recommend replacing it.

You have to slide the bar in from one side between the heatshield and the trunk floor. It's a bit tricky at first, but it'll fit in there without any cutting.
