Question for those of you that have removed the radiator or had to move it for intercooler install. What holds the radiator on top? I had mine replaced by a body shop when I hit an animal and the radiator lower hose connector ripped apart. I used an aluminum ECS radiator. This week it developed a leak that appears to come out of the output on the passenger side, but when I was checking I noticed that the radiator moves around 1-2" back and forth from the top. The lower mounts are fine. I plan on removing the bumper to install a FMIC this weekend and check if there was something that the body shop forgot to do, or if there is a way for me to secure it. Good thing is that if the radiator tank developed a crack I can weld it myself, vs a plastic unit that I would have to entirely replace.

From the repair manual:

Using diagonal pliers, pinch off fasteners -arrows- for radiator mounting on left and right. Push radiator with water radiator for charge air cooling circuit (top) slightly towards the rear.​

Press locking tabs on left and right sides of radiator simultaneously -arrow-, and detach radiator from water cooler for charge air cooling circui

That's annoying as fuck all...

Time for either a "come to jesus" conversation, or skip all that and burn that mofo to the ground

Lol good to know as a last resort

I was thinking of printing that photo and putting it under his wiper with a note offering to switch spots if he's afraid to park near that column.

It's wild to me that people buy vehicles that big and don't learn to park them

I think there's something about people in larger vehicles that think they just own the road. The amount of times a big ass truck or SUV has cut me off, parked like a dick next to me, or been up my ass is crazy.

Yes, 100% offer that first… I’m more concerned that his door is consistently hitting your car. Im riled for you cause that’s one of those things that drive me crazy and it’s a massive point of anxiety for parking anywhere.

Some larger truck and SUV drivers are very self-aware.

That said, aside from people driving busted Altimas, people driving pickups tend to be the least courteous on average in my experience
