I also have wondered why struts were not included on the radiator side. Perhaps
the thinking was ease of maintenance. Don't know. Mine is easily removed with an
Allen wrench as long as the screws are lubricated often. Otherwise it is a PIA.

I don't see why BB did not mount the grill over the radiator the same as on
the other side over the batteries using the pressure struts. On my coach the
grill over the radiator has about two dozen screws in it. It's not mounted
simple like yours Leroy. I guess BB learned as they went along.

simple.
