I have an older car, and the engine cover - plastic with foam - which sits on top of the engine is pretty cracked.
Obviously it was put there for a reason, presumably to keep heat from going into the bonnet/hood? Thing is, it doesn't sit quite right, doesn't clip in, and rubs on a couple of cables (which I have put electrical tape around to stop).
Can I chuck it away, or is my car going to catch fire if I do?
