Top Radiator Mounts Missing ???

During a routine under-the-hood inspection, I noticed that my radiator is very loose at the top. I can move it back and forth almost an inch . That does not seem normal to me. I bought the car used last year and this is the first time I've noticed it. It seems to me there should be some clips or something that keep the top of the radiator in place at the places where I've circled the pic.

This is a '96 E300D. I'd appreciate if someone with a similar model could take a quick peek under the hood and let me know if there are indeed some clamps or something that secure the top of the radiator to the front end.

Thanks a bunch !!!

Yes, you are missing the clips there. I just looked at mine, they are showing part number A210 504 0146. You need 2.

I have almost the same car (1995 E300 Diesel), and the same radiator set-up as you.

Looking at your pictures, I can see that you are missing the two "U" shaped clips that hold the top of the radiator.

Thanks guys. That's what I thought. And Thanks, Rick, for the part numbers.

Now I just have to find the parts somewhere ....

I would guess they're a dealer item. WorldPac doesn't seem to have very many W210 parts yet. I can't imagine they'd be any more outrageous than the $9 I paid the dealership for a door lock knob.

Actually, my local indi was able to order them for a whopping $1.79 a piece.

Thanks for all the help. I feel much better about the radiator being strapped in place. It doesn't seem loose enought to get close to the fan - but you never know.....
