Transmission cooler line on radiator, 87 300D
I just installed a new Behr radiator on my 87 300D, and I noticed the new radiator doesn't have a place for the top transmission line (the one that runs over the top of the radiator and connects to the driver's side cooler line) to clip into place. It bolts into place and reaches over the radiator as it should, but it can easily be jiggled up and down and this makes me nervous. The old radiator had little holes at the top and bottom of the driver's side to clip the line onto to hold it in place. Am I missing something here? Do I need a different kind of clip? Or do I need to replace the line? I'm sure this is the right radiator, I got it from the dealer based on my VIN, it fits perfectly, everything else is right. Here are some pics:
