Removing a bashed in headlight allowed for an inspection behind the grill. The upper part is secure and solid on both sides but the lower , particularly on the passenger side seemingly has nothing securing it and is an easy rattle spot. Is this a correct ?

Collateral damage to the radiator?

A couple heavy cable ties may stabilize things if the radiator looks intact otherwise.

No fortunately, light got jammed up not over , but is hooped because all the tabs snapped but it still works. Clear packing tape got me lined up again while I wait for part.
Fun fact...the small curved metal trim piece which took the bulk of the hit and will need to be tossed is called "nerf facia" , the official part name.


I get a rattle (sometimes) on start up and shut down, I guess what you'd expect with a tin can load with tools and stuff and a sliding door not 100% lined up when closed. Has always been more pronounced when cold. But I now know at least the rad should be clipped in solid on the bottom. I'll snap a close up pic for followup post.
