English term or phrase: valance
Le mot apparait à plusieurs reprises

1) "This photogfraph shows a view from the back of the tractor from the off side of the vehicle (Driver’s side, vehicle is left hand drive). Of interest is the total lack of damage to the blue plastic ***valance*** that surrounds the exhaust silencer, and under which the exhaust pipe discharges."

2) "The second view shows the exhaust discharge from the silencer from beneath a plastic opening door (a sort of ***valance***) at the side of the truck. It is this ***valance*** that shows no damage whatsoever in the photograph taken of the damaged vehicle."

garniture/cache-misère


Explanation:
A tout hasard, voici une définition du GDT, pour le domaine auto (qui peut aussi s'appliquer aux tracteurs je présume, dans ce cas, puisqu'on parle d'échappement):

Valance panel: Définition: Sur une automobile, pièce destinée à recouvrir ou envelopper un dispositif que l'on veut protéger ou dissimuler. Cela semble cohérent avec les phrases à traduire.
Le GDT propose donc 2 traductions : "cache-misère", ou le terme technique correct "garniture intersticielle" absolument inutilisable. Par contre, je pense que le terme "garniture" seul, pourrait convenir : il est à la fois suffisamment évocateur et en même temps vague pour être passe-partout, et est souvent trouvé dans les manuels auto.
