Raining like heck here, too. Plants may love it, but I don't. Unusual and
makes for an already too short summer.
All good ideas. Also, are you trying to do it from underneath with the
radiator scoop on? If so, remove the scoop.

I have used a little silicon so the rubber does not hang on to the metal.

You can use a hairdryer to warm up the hose to make it more flexible. You
might wnt to put the hose on first then drop the radiator in. Others take
the radiator supports off, put everything together and then drop it all back
in. It can be a struggle with the fan shroud especially.

Rain all weekend and water seepage into my basement. I did nothing with
either Roadster. :-( I did start the remodel of the basement at least a
year early while cleaning up the water damage!
Sooo, anyway, here is a Roadster question for any and all of you:
When you are putting on your lower radiator hose. HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET
THE HOSE TO GO ONTO THE LOWER PART OF THE RADIATOR? Sorry for the yelling
bit.
It took me close to a half hour to get the lower part of the hose on. Loads
of cussing, a couple scrapes, and a bruised hand later, I finally get it on.
(BTW, it was a new hose and thus had no flexibility.) Since I have very big
hands, I
could not really get my hand in any where.
I am just curious as to how any of you deal with this.
Wet in Wisconsin,
