Anyone know how to fix this?

Mileage

 

by the way thats my cars normal runnning temp will go to 3/4 the way up in heavy traffic

 

Try to work the material back into place? Not sure really

 

it has shrunk due to the heat so it wont i need a way to stretch it

 

next best guess would be find a replacement in the junkyard

 

You could try to use a heat gun and reshape it back into place but I think a replacement is your only hope. Then I would get a windshield shade to deflect some of the suns heat. You could also try to park in the shade and leave the windows cracked a bit in the summer.

 

oh god! my luminas never did that.

this year's 110+ temps made my monte's defroster vent cover thingy warp slightly. good thing luminas/montes are plentiful in junkyards.

 

Well it was a Boston car that went to Arizona for. Years then sat in a yard. In mass for 5 years I wonder if a hair dryer would work as a heat gun?

 

A hair dryer would work probably, but you're just going to rip it, just go find another piece from a yard if possible, it's a cheap vinyl so it will probably tear before it stretches back into place

 

Wow thats pretty strange to see it so warped and shrunk like that....

Id definately just get a boneyard replacement....I dont think theres no way in heck a heat gun or hair dryer is gonna make it stretch back that much....

Just out of curiosity....have you replaced the radiator in that Monte yet...(with that amount of mileage)....If your haveing over heating concerns....

I replaced mine about a year ago..(150k)..and my temps immediately dropped...whether its normal traffic, heavy traffic or just idleing...My temps stay cool!
Just a little FYI
