My Radiator fell inside the car I tried to pick it back up but its hooked on something in the bottom and I can move it. Not even sure how are why it would fall. is there some kinda of bracket that holds in place or a bolt?
Think that the bracket next to the windshield wiper blade fluid reserviour is supposed to hold it in place!! Is there a bolt missing? Will check tomorrow and get back to you
There are two small pegs that fit into rubber grommets on the bottom of the rad. First unbolt the two top mounts and crawl underneath the car and pull back from the bottom and push up. Then stick it in the hole.. If one or both of those grommets are missing then by some new ones as they are necessary.
Looks like it's next to the drain plug. Should be easy to locate. Whatever you do, don't bring it to a mechanic and especially not the dealership. They will lie to you and charge you $1000 dollars
I have been wondering how the heck it could have fell out too. I recently had the heed replaced because someone sat on the car and I know they took the bumper cover and the fenders off for respray but I really dont think they touched the radiator. I'm thinking it had to be done by the previous owner even thought the radiator looks original and has never been changed.
I just picked up some ramps from the store so I can get up under the car.
I really just won't to get rid of it now and get something else.

Thank you for posting this diagram. Taking it out with me on my tablet to try to fix it today. Been rolling around in my 1986 pathfinder with no AC all week it's been rough lol
It's the grommet one was missing on the right side it looks like at one time the previous owner put in a new Toyota radiator and I guess left one of the out. Gonna try Lexus to get another one.
