I recently purchased a reproduction chevy truck grill guard. I noticed it tilts backwards when installed. Has anyone found a fix for this, to have the grill guard sit up straight?

Crazy me! I thought that was the way it was supposed to fit.

Me too! How else do you get the animal you hit to be pushed up and out of the way? And it is more aerodynamic that way as well.

I've owned several OEM Grille Guards that style, and it looks as if the repo. guard leans back more than the originals. If that's the case, there is no fix for it.
