The present invention relates to a cable harness shield 1 for shielding a cable harness (11, figure 3) disposed in a pillar (7) of a vehicle (3, figure 1). The shield includes shield panel 25 for positioning over the cable harness. First and second locating members 27, 29 are provided for engaging the pillar. The first and second locating members are offset from the shield panel (see also figure 6) such that, in use, a space is formed between the shield panel and the pillar for the cable harness. A seatbelt guide 35 projecting outwardly from the shield panel is provided for guiding a seatbelt (15, figure 2) over the shield panel. The seat belt guide may comprise a ridge which is part circular in section Alignment members (41A,B, figure 5) may be provided for locating in an aperture formed in the pillar, and at least one clip (49A,B) may be provided to mount the shield to the pillar. The shield locates between the cable harness and the seatbelt and is intended to reduce or prevent the seatbelt contacting the cable harness. A vehicle including one or more cable harness shields is also claimed.
