I have a question on blocking the lower grille intake of the Fit:
*
Would duct-tape work for this purpose?
Since I previously went through the trouble of installing Gutter Guard plastic mesh on the inside part of the lower grille opening and zip-tying it to the vertical and horizontal grille bars (so it's pretty well attached), I was thinking the easiest and cheapest option would be just applying duct-tape from the exterior.
The plastic mesh holes are only about 1/2" tall x 1" wide at the most, so I don't imagine the duct-tape could break off and enter the radiator / engine compartment area.
I recall seeing others using duct tape, but I don't remember if it was only a short-term temporary/testing option, or if it would last as a more permanent solution.
Thanks,
