Hi,

I hope this the the appropriate thread for this.

I have an '07 Vibe.

The heat shield between my exhaust and gas tank has somewhat deteriorated where it attached.

It looks like I need a new heat shield.

Problem is, my mechanic can't seem to find one.

The toyota dealership in my town has them for the Matrix, but there's 2 models; one is not available though as it was discontinued and he doesnt know if the one he can get will fit on my Vibe.

Does anyone know which model of heat shield for an '07 Matrix will fit an '07 Vibe?

Or, does someone know where else I can get the heat shield?

I'm in Oshawa ON, Canada.

Thanks.

From what found, the Matrix dimensions are 36.4 x 24.6 x 11.1 inches and the Vibe is 24.5 x 20.8 x 18.5 inches. (Source: https://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/gm-s ... 84740.html and https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toy ... 01030.html).

I found a few car dealerships that have them (one in MI and one in FL) so not sure that the shipping would be:

The other option if you didn't want to order the part is to either get one that is close to the size from a local auto parts store/dealer/bone yard and trim to fit or maybe some galvanized sheet metal / powder coated. Just some options.
