I know some people have replaced it with a clear plastic panel, but don't 
know what's become of the plastic after a time.

But at last: a chance for experimental verification of my theory: the purpose 
of the plastic tea tray is to keep the heat off the plenum (which in fact 
touches the insulation un der the hood) from destroying the paint of the hood 
or the bounce and jounce of the engine from knocking dents in from the 
bottom.

Please, replace the plastic with a slab of metal and report back here on what 
happens over the course of time.

Wanted: another experiment and 2 controls.
