On some of my past cars i've had the shield start rattling and usualy i just take a tin sip to it. You won't lose power. In fact, it wont do much of anything. Enjoy.

EDIT: if theres nothing wrong with the shield and you are just asking for bs reasons... there would be no advantage or disadvantage to keeping or getting rid of the shield.
Correct. Try parking on green grass too. Come back the next day and it will be dead. :P
