Fitment of left fender grill vent

[YogiGT350]

Anyone have any experience with addressing this problem? I'm working with my dealer, but no solution yet. Thanks

Should have added that dealer ordered new part and it fit the same, left a gap. The plastic is very stiff and doesn't flex which is why the "tape" doesn't work.

I had a similar fitment issue with the same part (though a smaller gap compared to the picture) and solved it by using 3M Super Trim Adhesive Spray with the tape. It's been 9 months and the piece hasn't moved.

Was hoping a fix didn't involve adhesive. Thanks for the reply.

The adhesive I used can be removed by heating the area or using a 3M product to remove the adhesive. I took this route because I would've waited 3 weeks for the dealership's body shop to fix it.

... to remove the awesome...

You never want to remove the awesomeness of a GT350

Makes sense, thank you.

One of mine is like this too, but the gap is on the bottom. Dealership said they replace them under warranty all the time. They just order new and add additional 2 sided tap to put them on correctly. I had them get me the vent, I just need to put it on.

Heat gun to bend the plastic vent? Get dealer to do it though...

BTW, build quality on the unique front end is questionable. I had runs in the paint around my GT350 emblem. Dealer fixed it though. wet sanded and buffed.

Low power to soften it some, makes it pliable it will pick up the curvature. .............. or wait for summer reply in the sun.

Good to know. Thanks!

I waited 4 weeks for my replacement only to have the same issue.
I've learned to live with it. Maybe next summer I'll try the adhesion solution.
