Strange bumper issue
When my shop replaced the radiator for me recently, I'm not sure if it's something they did, but I've been having problem since... My front bumper on the right hand side underneath the fog lamp would deform due to massive hot air leaking in between the gap of the front bumper and the under panel.
After the car runs for a while and if the cooling fan is running, I can feel hot air coming out from the gap, I'm pretty sure this is not normal but can someone please help and verify this? I'm thinking maybe they've misaligned some panels inside making the cooling fan air leaking from underneath casuing the deform. The deform area felt hot to the touch and I can actually reform the bumper by pushing and holding it back in place... Don't want to look like a fool if I ask the bumper to be remove again to check and only find the hot air is normal from the gap :P Thanks!
