try car-part.com. You can find anything you want. If you want new then I'd try irontoad.com.

I'm resurrecting this thread from the grave. The reason is because I brought my car to a mechanic today to get a couple of things done to it, get a oil leak fixed and possibly replace my timing belt if needed. I had my wife do it since I was going to be at work all day. Anyway, they did all that plus replaced my serpentine belt without telling us (it was kinda worn down anyway) and everything was fine. I got home and decided to check things out since I don't trust mechanics (I've been short changed oil on oil changes and also had dirty oil put back into my engine once) and noticed that the black cover for my fan had been broken where it bolts to the car on the left hand side. I noticed a hand print on it as well, I figured the guy must of leaned into the engine and put his weight on it and broke it in the process.

So the reason I wrote all this was because I'm going to call them up tomorrow to tell them and have them fix/replace it. But I'm worried that if I drive it to work tomorrow, it might be pushed into the fan from the wind blowing into the front of my engine. This might damage my fan. I'm not sure what to do, because I'm afraid if I modify it at all, they might blame me and thus not replace/refund me.

It doesn't rub when the car is running while stationary, but when I drive it at high speeds won't it then become an issue since the wind blows through the radiator and could possibly push it into the fan blades?

Anyway, I'm going to JB Weld it if the shop refuses to accept responsibility.
