Abstract
An automotive vehicle heat shield is formed from a laminated sheet material having a thin reflective metallic layer laminated to a structural plastic layer. Mounting brackets are riveted to the laminated sheet material to mount the heat shield between a heat sensitive vehicle component and a heat source. The reflective metallic layer is perforated forming a plurality of prongs which are embedded into the plastic layer through a compression molding process to bond the two layers together forming the laminated sheet material.
