Cost as much as that Griffin now! What the heck. At least you don't have to buy a new cap for it.

Top of the coolant reservoir if need to, and keep an eye on it. If you're losing a little coolant over a few weeks, you likely have a pinhole in the rad. Takes 10-15 mins to yank the intake boot and airbox out, which then allows you to pull the fan shroud out and inspect the backside of the rad. Often those leaks are never big enough to let anything get to the ground before baking off. just keep that in mind if you keep seeing the resi level drop.
Thanks, and yes, a win I thought, much bigger back window, and gained defrost and a wiper.
