Anyone else have a toyota that has the aluminum heat shields rotting lose and rattling on their muffler?

They used steel nutts to retain the aluminum panels. That combination sets up a galvanic reaction when it becomes wet and in no time chews through the aluminum anode. I just had to put bigger, heavy aluminum washers on with stop nuts. Stainless washers are no good. They have to be a lower galvanic potential.
