Genuine Nissan Radiator Support Panel - Nissan Patrol Y60 GQ 1987-1997

This is a genuine Nissan radiator support panel for the GQ Patrol. As a crucial structural component located at the front of the engine bay directly behind the grille, it serves as the primary mounting frame for the radiator, A/C condenser, headlights, and bonnet latch mechanism. Its correct fit and strength are essential for maintaining the structural integrity and panel alignment of your vehicle's front end.

This panel commonly requires replacement after a front-end collision, where it is designed to absorb impact, or when rust and corrosion have weakened its structure. Visible damage, misaligned front panels, or incorrect headlight aim are all signs that the support panel may be compromised. Using a genuine replacement is the only way to guarantee the restoration of factory-specified strength and safety.

Product Features

• Genuine Nissan Quality: Engineered to original factory specifications, guaranteeing a perfect fit without any cutting, drilling, or modification.

Important Notes:

Replacing the radiator support panel is a major job that is best performed by a professional workshop or an experienced mechanic. The process requires dismantling the front of the vehicle, drilling out spot welds and spot welding back on. Depending on the reason for replacement, you may also need new mounting hardware, clips, or bolts. If replacing due to a collision, other front-end components like the grille or headlights might also be required.
