Default ASAP - Help identifying part? Fell out while installing Vararam...

This little rubber bumper came tumbling out, of the passenger side, as I was removing my radiator cross bar to install my Vararam. I don't know where it was under there...anybody have a clue and should there be one on each side?

I believe that the piece is going to fit on your radiator shroud top on the passenger side. It slips on the edge of the shroud and helps keep the AC hoses from rubbing the plastic edge. Not that important though. Mine has fallen off a few times when under the hood and leaning on the shroud. Just my thoughts??? :confused: :confused:

Interesting, same thing happened to me last fall when I was installing my Vararam. It's still on my tool box. Doesn't seem to be causing any problems without it.

:iagree:

As far as importance goes, I must assume it's there for a reason or GM wouldn't bother.
