Just ordered me one as my shield is in terrible shape. To get the old remaining parts of the shield off, what cleaner can you use? acetone, mineral spirits? or will that ruin the fiberglass cowling?

So that adhesive stuff you can try goo gone, I will start with that if that doesn’t work, you can turn it up to acetone or lacquer thinner, or xylene. None of that stuff will really harm fiberglass

After you use the Goo Gone suggested by @jetdriven, I would clean an area well outside the outline of the shield with your favorite degreaser, and then use the Thermo-Tec spray adhesive before applying the shield.

So is the adhesive on the barrier good enough or did you use 

 

Thermo-Tec 12005 Spray-On Adhesive - 16.75 oz.Thermo-Tec 12005 Spray-On Adhesive - 16.75 oz.

• $30.98

• in addition to the adhesive that was already on the shield?

7yr old post but would be interesting to see a picture from OP.  I have used my RayJay for 15yrs (it was installed 1971) with no issues and have nothing layered on the turbo in terms of a heat shield or tape. 
 
My guess would be improper installation or incorrect parts versus the need to use some sort of heat shield.
