That's what I was debating on doing. Thank you! Did you have issues with the washer lines as well?

Gotcha! I'm debating on just ripping the heat shield off and not even replacing it, to be honest, I can't seem to find the part number for those push pins.

Without looking, they're probably generic push pins that you can pick up from any auto parts store
