DEI unveiled new Adapt-A-Shield and other heat solutions at PRI 2025!
The star of the show is the Adapt-A-Shield, a new heat barrier that looks like DEI’s familiar dimpled aluminum panels but behaves completely differently. It’s thinner, lighter, and way more moldable than the usual floor and tunnel shields, and the wild part is how forgiving it is. You can crush it, fold it, flatten it, reshape it… and it just keeps working. No adhesive needed. If you’re stuck in the pits, you can literally tear it to size (the backing gets a little fuzzy, but hey, it works). It's one of those “keep a sheet in the trailer” products for when something gets too hot or too close for comfort.
DEI also launched its new LokJaw Ties, an upgrade to the stainless ties that use a wave design to preload tension as you cinch them down. Translation: you don’t need the special tool anymore. Just pull them tight and they clamp way harder than the old style. For header wrap, lines, wiring, or anything that needs to stay put under heat, this is going to be an easy win. They’ll hit the shelves toward the end of January.
Rounding things out, DEI also added RV engine cover kits, pre-cut Jeep transmission pan shields (JT, JL, JK), and a new motorcycle seat shade cover for big touring bikes to keep you—and your passenger—cool while parked if you happen to have any of those, too.
