Had a hole in my ac condenser from a stone. Went to pull the condenser and broke the radiator in the process. FML. Not happy. Now I’m waiting on parts to come in.

That bites. Before you put the grill back on consider putting some finer grating on the back of the grill or just ahead of the radiators. I used some matte black aluminum gutter screens and trimmed them to size. Wired them in place with some ss wire.

Yep, I was going to suggest that. I always use black figerglass screen material (small squares), and never an issue here in hot TX. And I didn't need to remove the bumper. Hey, what is that squared radiator for??? Looks like an oil cooler, but with those big inlet/outlets, it has to be coolant, not the A/C condenser. So wondering what the heck is for, since it's not the main radiator. Never noticed it before. Thx.

I have the 2.0 so it’s the intercooler for the turbo.

Oh, no wonder. Ha ha. Thanks for clarifying that. Good luck.
