Hi all,

I would like to ask about the repair of the radiator support for my 2013 honda accord coupe. I searched around and noticed there are 2 parts of the radiator support bracket. My damage was just at the lower Cross-member Set, Front Bulkhead Lower not the entire bulkhead, which supports the radiator. Could I just repair the front bulkhead lower only? Since the repair of the entire bulkhead will be expensive. I have a picture for reference. Thank you all in advance for any advice.

ced for advices.

 

If the top part is not damaged, you can replace the bottom part. I am pretty sure that lower part is spot welded to the upper part. I can see some spot welds that were ripped out when it got damaged. Are you planning on doing the work yourself, or take it to a shop for the body work?

The radiator rests on two holes in the lower bulk head, so the radiator doesn't fall to the ground. The top is held in by two brackets preventing the radiator from lifting up.

Is the radiator not sitting properly in the engine bay? Do you have any body panels other alignment issues? You might be able to have the metal hammered/bent into shape and have the spot welds redone. I'd probably take your car to a bodyshop to get a quote and see what options you have for a repair.
