THERMAL PROTECTIVE BUSHING
DRIVE
March 19, 2026
A trim part for a vehicle has a body with an attachment bracket to secure the trim part to the vehicle. A thermal bushing is coupled with the attachment bracket to provide thermal insulation for the trim part and the trim attachment bracket. The bushing has a first disk portion, a second disk portion and a cylindrical body, with two ends. The first and second disks are each positioned at one end of the cylinder. A bore passes through the first disk portion, cylindrical body and second disk portion to receive a fastener. A wall defining the bore is sized to define an air gap between the fastener and the bushing.
