I posted the 2013-2016 Body Repair Manual here for you.
Radiator Support Repair Instructions start on Page 62, Pages 220 & 221 show the measuring points and measurements. |
That makes sense. Really appreciate it! Looks like it's a bit more involved than I was anticipating originally but still looks pretty doable.
