I call this the "Go or Blow" test.
Verdict - it works, but duct tape sucks after 12 hours of rain. I'm going to have to find a more permanent way to fasten them, which means I'm going to find my rivet gun and some ABS or sheet metal. Screw it, I'm not going to be able to sell the van for what I want anyway, so I'm just keeping it and going to start modding the hell out of it.

Yeah, my electric fan always comes on at 221 degrees F, so I'm watching for that number in posts. I can't remember where I heard/read it, but I learned the 250 degrees F was the engine damage zone. I usually force the fan on at 210+ degrees F because I don't want to even *reach* 221.
I *always* like reversible mods, but I don't like duct tape. Sticky goo that has to be cleaned off (the lazy gene strikes again).
Maybe you could use zipties through the coroplast onto the grill. No harm done.
EDIT: Oops, it doesn't look like you have a "grill" like I was thinking. I was thinking honeycomb.
