Title: Rubber mat (?) that attaches from back of grill to body
Post by: Texas Turbo T on July 27 2011, 04:30:25 AM

Trying to find the piece of rubber (?) that hooks to the back of the grill to the body.

Any suggestion on how to repair if it is not available? Photos would be G R E A T ! ! !

Thanks!

Button holes ripped out or a tear?
Rubber flashing for a plumbing stack might not be a bad material for a patch?

It's not there!  :(

Car has an aftermarket trans cooler. Think it was left off by shop that installed it, way back when.

The cheaper one is fine. If you feel handy you could fab something similar from aluminum.
