Winter front installation question . . .

I just installed my mopar winter front this afternoon, and I ran into an issue. The three lower 'hooks' seem to be aligned with the three holes in the inboard side of the lower part of the bumper. That makes sense, except that on my truck, there is a wire loom plugged into the three holes already. Anyone have any thoughts? Anyone else run into that?

thanks

I used zip ties, and ran them where the hook attaches to the elastic and then ran the zip ties to the holes. Keeps the bottom snug and doesn't stretch out the elastic either.

I couldn't figure out where they were actually supposed to go, so I just clipped them onto the intercooler. I hope this will be alright, I haven't seen any adverse effects yet...

It will warm up considerably quicker with the winter front on, the good thing about the mopar one is that you can regulate the amount of airflow by adjusting the flap opening.

The cold weather front is a piece of vinyl that covers your front radiator, with adjustable flaps to control airflow depending on temps. The part is available from your dealer and the part is: mopar # 82208646.

my stainless bumper insert is bolted to those 3 slots in the bumper so I just hooked them on the intercooler. Huge difference in warmup times!!!
