My radiator ain't bolted down
The top of the radiator on my wifes ML320 is free to wobble forward and back. There are some plastic loose retaining blocks to the right and left hand side of the radiator but the radiator can move 5mm back and forward.
Is your vehicle is like that?
Please let me know so that I don't have to sweat the small stuff.

Thanks for curing my paranoia.
I've just never had a vehicle where I noticed so much play in the radiator. The rubber air dam that slots on to the top of the radiator to try to ensure air does not bypass the radiator - is constantly slipping off the radiator due to the movement of the radiator.
My sense is that the mounting points should have some kind of rubber bushing that holds it more firmly.
