    I see at least 3 different heat shields here. The one way at the back, the big long one in the middle, and then the angled one between those two (the one I'm pointing to).

    That one is loose on my car, and I wanted to find the part # for it. It seems I can only find the other 2 heat shields on the Toyota parts website. Does anyone know how to find the part number of that heat shield?

    This is for a 2010 Prius 5 by the way.

    I usually call the Toyota dealership parts department to identify parts that are confusing to find. But it’s better to go to the dealership parts department in person since it’s easier to pin point it on their computer without guessing over the phone. That’s what I did the last time I needed a part that was hard to identify. It is an exhaust heat shield, hopefully you find the right part for it.

    Is it just one of the fastener holes tore out? Maybe an oversized washer (get galvanized if possible) would work. They're often referred to as "Fender Washers". They're readily available at hardware stores.

    I have the 2010 too and the same heat shield is broken exactly like yours. I also couldn't find the Toyota Part Number from their part diagrams.
    Did you fix yours? Do you have the P/N? How much did it cost you?
