I had to replace my radiator support due to an accident. I also had to remove the radiator, the A/C condenser and the fan. When doing that i removed a bar that i believe is an upper radiator retainer tie bar, now i don't remember where the bar goes. can you please help?

Hi,

I'm not sure the exact part you are referring to, so I attached the directions for the removal and installation of the radiator core support below.

Take a look through them and let me know if they help. If they don't, take a pic of the part in question and upload it for me to see.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

That is the front bumper cover upper retainer. It should bolt on each end of the body and the upper bumper cover attaches to it.

I attached the best pic I could find. Let me know if it helps.

Take care,

Joe
