Leading evidence: 'Use 3m heavy duty lens restoration kit' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'alcohol was involved' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean radiators took much longer), and a common reason' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Cheap, quick install (cleaning your radiators took much longer), and a common reason for the squeak.

Suggestion · Original poster
With Spring looming, I've been meaning to knock out a few things myself and popping the bumper off and cleaning the radiators was on the list.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Getting ready to take the beast into the shop to have my creaking front end looked at. With Spring looming, I've been meaning to knock out a few things myself and popping the bumper off and cleaning the radiators was on the list. Just as I got it put back together, I realized that I forgot to re-route the dang frunk release cable. Blargh.
The second pic is about 80% of the crap I got out. The car dropped another unexpected load on my face while I was swapping out the shredded rubber pieces from the undercarriage that the PO did - probably going over and well past a curb. In fact, one of the torx fasteners was sheared off. I suspect alcohol was involved

@white out - That's what I was thinking, too, but all of my rubber looks to be in great shape. I'm going to be very interested to see what the shop says.
@Sonoma707 - That is gorgeous - we're looking to do something similar to that later today!

I used the 3M Heavy Duty Lens Restoration Kit. Worked really well. Looking for a clear coat solution now. Heard about Xpel pre-cut lens film in another thread, so my dig around for more info on that.
