I'm afraid this may be the first of many posts of this type as I slowly begin the process of re-assembling my car, and can't remember how to put certain pieces back on <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/mad.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> . I wanted to get a better look at possible options for mounting an auxiliary oil cooler, and in the process, removed this large plastic panel thingy:
I'm sure I removed it before I took off my front bumper cover to replace the broken grill (see my other post on this), and I remember thinking to myself, "You're NEVER going to remember how to put this thing back on...", as it was a bit of a struggle to twist and distort it to yank it out.
So, did I bother to snap a picture? No, of course not - that would have been WAY too intelligent and logical. I tried to get it back on for about 45 minutes last night, but I just can't seem to get it oriented right. I can see the attachment screws, and where they go on the piece (what the heck is this thing, anyway?), but I can't seem to figure out how to fit it back on. Does anybody happen to have a picture of their, or any other 968, with the front bumper cover off that gives a clear view of this thing? I know it must be in the PET, or maybe even in the workshop manual, but a photo, as opposed to a drawing, would be more useful, I think. I'm sure I could figure it out if I took the bumper cover back off, but I'd like to do this as a last resort, as maneuvering the cover by myself is a royal pain, plus there's the risk of damaging it. Thanks in advance.
