I took mine off once and it was somewhat of a pain to put back on. If it was removed before, it may not be on right. I believe it just sits on a grove and then bolts down on the sides. I believe its actually a different mold than the plastic version.Ĭheck to make sure the black trim piece that covers the radiator is on properly. My T-1 air bridge actually got disformed a little from the underhood heat and began to crack eventually causing a hole. I am not sure what the T-1 is made of but I dont think its cheap plastic, I think its some sort of composite molding.

With the airbridge rubbing the hood without the hood liner in, this does not currently seem possible.ĭo you guys now of some trick that I can use to get the current bridge to fit better? From what I can see the bridge is resting flush on the radiator top so I am at a loss. I would like to put a hood liner back on the car. I am afraid the constant friction of the airbridge and the hood couldĢ. I would like to correct the problem for two reasons ġ. Even with the hood liner removed the airbridge still rubs the top of the hood. The hood liner, probably to make room for the airbridge. It looks like he did a good job, however the airbridge does not seem to fit very well. The intake was installed by the previous owner. It works wonderfully and I love the added boost it gives.
