Unfortunately they will not allow us to install it -- the dealership must do it. The dealership wanted to paint the cover, which my husband told them was absolutely not acceptable.

Also radiator fluid covered the inside of the hood of the car! Off to the coin car wash to clean the inside of the engine as well as wash my baby so it can be tucked safely back into storage for a few more weeks.

I certainly hope the new fan module was installed correctly. Has anyone else had these types of issues when their recall was done? (Guess I should have held off a few weeks when the told me I was the first car to be done . . .)

How does this cover come off the car? Are there any new clips, etc. required to install the new one?

It amazes me that dealerships cannot seem to work on these cars without damaging them, no matter how minor the work to be done.
