Scotty Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Mine came loose also on a Deville, and I bought a new one for big bucks... I believe its utilized for a couple of reasons 1) to keep rocks from bouncing up and damaging your AC condenser and 2) to focus air through the radiator. You should re-attach it the best you can, they use black push fasteners originally. Mine came loose from the front end hitting curbs and bumpers and the black fasteners were damaged.

davedog Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 i used black heavy duty zip ties. Put those on 2 years ago, and haven't touched them since. And you cannot tell unless you get up under the car looking for it. -dave Crystal Red Tintcoat Exterior | Shale/Brownstone Interior | 32k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regis Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Zip ties work well especially if the push tab holes in the rubber are torn. Here's another discussion on the same subject. http://caddyinfo.ipbhost.com/index.php?sho...747&hl=zip+ties Thought I'd get one last post in before I have to get ready.
