This is a good idea about the JCW Heat Shield for $27.   I have hot
air blowing from the front into my cabin area.  Do you think this will
help solve the problem?

Also, if I order this instead of Sonic-X, would this be a good
material for above the transmission area that protects the rear-seat
passengers from heat?  My current stock padding is falling apart.

The rating says 700 degrees.

I'm still thinking of spending the extra bucks for the Sonic-X since
it appears to have higher flame retardant capability.  There's two
fuel lines that go through the firewall near that area, one for the
fuel supply and one for the return.

Regards,
Craig
