I bought my 2020 Telluride a year ago as a retirement vehicle for vacations and trips to my cottage. It's an awesome highway vehicle, and practically drives itself with the Lane Control, Active Cruise, and HUD. I live in Calgary, Canada and the AWD went thru deep snow without hesitation. Unfortunately my AC Condenser did not survive the winter, and is peppered with stone hits. Has anyone had any luck getting Kia to pay for the repair? I've bought some screens to cover the openings, to avoid this issue next winter. Has anyone found a way to get behind the front grill, without taking the entire bumper assembly off? Thanks, Angus

The only grill protector that can be installed behind the front without bumper removal.

Cheap DIY Mesh Grill

Got this idea from another user on this forum. Decided to proactively protect my AC condenser on the cheap. Hopefully the mesh will do its job and I will never have to deal with coolant leaks from a damaged fin. Took me about 45 min to do the 5 sections underneath the tiger nose grill. Used...
