Just pull it off. If you are really that worried about noise, drive around with the entire cover off and see if it's that much louder. I can't even tell the difference.

You could put some kind of heat resistant foam there. I woudn't put styrofoam there because it could melt or some other foam could catch on fire. Just take it off and be done with it.

    AC was blowing under 40F and I turned the car off. Restarted it and no AC. Idle fluctuates with AC on, so ECU is reacting to compressor not running. Fans do not run on low speed with AC button on. I tested the resistance of the compressor coil and it is out of spec, so it needs replacement. Car...
