Yeah. I noticed some overheating when I wheeled Colorado last month. Also, when I got back, I pressure washed at the self car wash nearby, and knocked out all but 3 of the mounts. I ripped it out and am done with it for awhile. I might try a more permanent solution that can stand up to multiple power washes.

Used 1/4 20 ga aluminum for mine, plasti dipped it black. Pretty sure it did flatten the grill out once I re installed but not very noticeable. Just has to push a bit more to clip it in. Pretty easy install with tin snips and some patience on the zip ties [center=32.748677,-117.152028&zoom=14&markers=32.748677,-117.152028&size=400x300&sensor=true[/IMG]

I used the lock tite epoxy, plastic gutter guard, and square wire tie holders. Removed the double sided tape from the square wire tie holders, and scuffed the holders, and where the are epoxied. I have no problem pressure washing it and it is holding up without problems.
