Radiator Baffle

Somewhere, somehow the baffling that is attached(by plastic push pins) to the top of the radiator got mis-formed. Half is bent towards the front of the engine and the other half is bent towards the back of the engine. I don't think that is the way it was designed. I would just leave it as is....but because of the malformation the pins can no longer hold it in place.

Which way is the correct direction? How is everyone else's holding up? I have it off the radiator now....and would like to put it back on the right way.

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you could post a pic of what you are looking for? I'd be happy to snap a pic of how mine looks.

Here is a picture with the baffle in question removed. The pen is pointing to the holes the push pins snap into. The baffle itself is roughly 2 1/2 inches tall and runs the length of the radiator. A picture of yours would be awesome.

Thank you.

Pretty sure the other pic helped you, but here is the one that is similar to your vantage point.

Wow, those two baffles look pristine. Mine was in a sad state, bent in all different directions.
Thanks guys for the input. Exactly what I needed to see.
