fellow owners I need some help, whilst washing the car (front grill) as I'm having a good nose I spot something quite unusual.
as below pic circled in red there seems to be a threaded screw hole. is this normal or should I start fearing the worst

Have you looked right through?
Its attached to the radiator or part of it.
My guess is I reckon its for mounting the radiator some how!
Any other guesses or does anyone know what its there for?

ah, no I only looked on the grill itself
I've just checked, and I do have one
The threads appear to have been used, so I'd suggest (or guess) it's something that's used in the manufacturing process
