My old car didn't even have this. The only other car I've even had with this was a clk 55 several years ago. So can I safely remove it and not worry about it? Recommendations?
Those liners are close at the best of times and mine started rubbing the engine cover. remove it if you like, no problem. The clips holding mine needed to be bent up more and that helped a little, but it still touched the engine cover.
