    Guys,

    The black plastic radiator intake louver on the passenger side of my f355 Spider is laterally off center in the door jamb by just less than 1/2" (vertically its fine). The driver's side is perfectly centered. I want to adjust the passenger side so it is properly centered too but can't seem to find any information as to how to accomplish this. I can tell its resiliently mounted to something. Is it independant of the radiator and is separately resiliently mounted to the body or is it hard connected to the radiator and the entire assembly is resilient mounted? Can this be done from the door jamb or do you have to remove the fan and radiator to access its adjustment (uhg!)? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks Steve. From what you've told me and looking at the parts diagram, I now believe the louver is hard bolted to the body. I think what I initially thought was a "resilient connection" was in fact just the normal flexibility of the plastic louver. Appreciate your help.
