Default Heat shield tab loose

The front heat shield on my 2012 Limited came loose because the tab came off. Anybody replace the heat shield and know what you have to do to do it?

65634-09 is the part number.
Thanks.

If you still have the tab, just get it tig welded back on.

If you don't get it welded up, lots of guys here probably have spares in the garage. Its just that welding it up, may show on the good side.

Old thread but they are sitting around in garages...https://www.hdforums.com/forum/want-...5634-09-a.html

I haven’t been able to find a decent used one, I’m willing to buy a new one. I was just wondering if anyone has done this and could tell me how to do it.

My mechanic gave me an estimate, and mentioned he would have to take off the floorboard, so I assume that’s part of the process.

1. remove floorboard
2. unscrew the hose clamps
Takes about 10 minutes

My friend welded my tab back together, his only concern was heat maybe affecting the other side and dis color never happened, all it cost me was a fish fry lunch!
