Who will be grill blocking soon?

Tape is holding up well after two weeks during warmer, cooler and wet weather. Very pleased with the tape versus the foam insulation method. If taping the grill is good enough for NASCAR, it's good enough for my car.

 

Tape should work fine as a quick, simple, nice-looking, long-lasting alternative. But what about the residue it will likely leave behind?

 

Very possible, but I'll address that issue in the spring. Still worth the effort.

 

I use clear packing tape to hold the foam in place, but it's hardly invisible.

 

Goo-Gone will remove it and fairly cheaply too.

 

blocked mine saturday, 16 degrees.

 

I blocked mine 2 weeks ago, with pipe insulation, first time I blocked radiator in about 45 years!

 

i used to put cardboard over my mgb radiator, but that was because i couldn't afford a new thermostat.

 

Yeah! Thats when we had to change them twice a year! Ahhhhhhhhhh! Memorys!

 

The Prius in Japan supposedly has automatic louvers that close when it's cold out, and open again when it warms up. I'm not sure if this includes the PHEV.
