I emailed the seller, saying all you needed was the hatch, not the glass or wiper or any of that. Anything to help out a Vibe or Matrix owner. Vibes are endangered (and are actually now a Lexus hybrid, so whatever happened there is odd, though it also means there is a drop-in hybrid system for our cars), so we have to stick together!
Styrofoam can get to 95 degrees, I found out in a quick Google search, so I'd say you should maybe make a metal shield, to absorb/deflect the heat, or make that part of the boat tail metal. The other option it cutting the exhaust back, and pointing it down, and away. Or, if you have some 'scrap' foam, put it right next to your exhaust, drive with it for a while, and see what happens. Nothing would probably happen, since the bumper right above it has some foam behind some plastic over the metal bumper.
