I believe he's talking about the heat shields under the car.
Or just keep repositioning them. Bend them little by little.

It is probably rusting away at the corners, where is the screws are holding it down. Just get some 4" hose clamps and tighten that bad boy back up. 
Edit:
I just had to do this to my teg....4" hose clamps were $1.51 each at Home Depot.
