Less common heat shield rattle?

Just curious if anyone else has had to fix replace the heatshield above the muffler.

There's 6 bolts holding this heat shield on. The back left and right bolts has pulled through the shield and the back center bolt was on its way. The front bolts were fine.

For those with rattles definately check this one out. It would rattle at 1600-1700 RPM as well as over 3000 RPM.

I fixed mine by adding large washers to the 3 rear bolts.

mine is rusted right along the back half of the heat shield around the bolt holes and the bolts have popped through the rust. i haven't had a chance to get some big washers and fix it. it doesn't make much noise though. about the only rusty part on the car too.
