Anyone with a 2017 or newer Pacifica? My engine splash shield has a metal heat shield above it that came loose and it can't be reattached. It bangs around when going over rough road. The metal shield protects the splash shield I think. My question is do I even need the splash shield on a Pacifica other that for airflow and fuel economy? I'm just before removing it and tossing it in the trash.

Try drilling some holes and using pop rivets to re-attach the metal shield before you toss it out.
But if you decide to toss it, yeah no biggie.

^^This.
As mentioned, pop rivets or appropriately sized stainless steel machine screws/washers and nuts.
I'd want the splash shield were I you.
Any "cheap" rattling heat shield.....make the rattle go away...are we men or are we mice?

Anyone see any adverse affects of keeping this pan off?
It’s not small, even has a heat shield on it since it’s a fiber and goes under the engine/exhaust.
I’m not super concerned about fuel economy, I could see wind noise being bit increased. Might run a touch cooler. Anything else?
