Radiator foam was created by mickyd
Does anyone replace the radiator foam??
two wide ones at the side and the narrow strips top and bottom.
What are they bonded on with, where can you get them (main dealer only?) and how much do they cost.
One of the wide ones fell off today, and the other look's like it's on its last legs.

I just copied them on my last Jimny with some furniture foam and stuck on with some 3m double sided tape.

I would suggest the foam is used to control air flow in the area around the radiator. Air is inherently lazy and will take every opportunity it can to sneak around obstructions, so the foam stops this. Do you need it?
Only Suzuki know how much its needed, but then they also dont fit things just for the fun of it.
On its own the lack of it is unlikely to cause problems, but the improvement it brings has gone.
I will be replacing mine using the Lambert "copy and tape" method above when it finally falls off.
