That's a pretty recent change. I think it was enacted due to that fact that we were all removing undercoating as "insulating material" and the rule may not have been that explicit.

I mean, ALL IT car builders should have to go through the forced ritual of undercoating removal...without it, you rule aren't an IT guy.....
I agree Jeff, but still nothing in that rule allows for dash insulating material to be removed (unless that's made of melt sheets) -- in my car, it is a huge thick fiberglass (or something) pad.
