Are you asking about the Plastic piece the bases come with or the fabric that's attached to the hood the SCs have?

This, and you wouldn't believe the amount of dirt that thing traps under it. When I took mine off it was like emptying out a vaccume cleaner on top my motor!


Edit to assume OP was talking about the blanket on the underside of the hood lol.
