Top fan shroud issue

[Black02Silverado]

I know this isn't really a troubleshooting issue but didn't see where else to post it. 

 

Is anyone else having issues with the top fan shroud coming off?  Mine doesn't want to stay on.  Not sure what the issue is since it seems to clamp down tight.  Every time I open the hood I find it like in the picture.  One time it was all the way up against the firewall..  Not sure why, because like I said, it snaps down tight when I put it back in place. 

 

Just wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue.  Thanks.

Are the radiator fins pretty clean?

 

Anyway, you'll want to either replace it or see if there is some part missing that holds it down, as it looks like it's part of the ducting to keep air flowing through the radiators...

Truck only has 13k miles on it.  I'm figuring the clips are not holding and need a new shroud.  Going to the dealer to see if I can get a new one under warranty.

Did they give you a new one under warranty? I'm having the same issue, it started last summer. 

Thanks.

It kept coming off, at least 4 times.  But since I put it on that last time it has not come off since.  Not sure what was up.  I didn't take it to the dealer since it has stayed on now.  This is even on a long 9 hour trip up to PA to visit my mom.  It usually would be off when I got there but was still on has stayed on. 

 

All I can say is put it back on and make sure it is snapped into place well.

Thank you! I'll try it again and see if it finally stays on.
