    Anyone noticing the top rad cover warping on their 3rd gen?

    I have the same issue on my 2024. I didn’t raise it with the dealer yet because it wasn’t making any noise or loose or anything.

    Good to know I am not the only one. I am thinking this cover is there to protect the top of the rad as well as the A/C condenser when servicing the engine. I think the heat from top of the rad is causing the plastic to distort. What it needs is a few more push in clips along the front edge.

    I agree there’s only 2 tabs one on each end holding it. I got tired of popping the center back up only to have it slide back next time you open the hood.

    This piece on every truck I've owned has done the exact same thing.
