Radiator split

Well if it's not one thong it's another. Today I was seafoaming my car and the radiator split apart near the cap. It's the plastic top and my question is do they make these plastic tops seperate, or do I have to replace the whole radiator?

Doubt if they sell it..... THAT would be a major PITA to try and crimp down with no leakage..... Suck it up and buy another..... Or really suck it up and get a all metal one...... junkyard???

That's just how radiators are manufactured these days. No choice but to buy a new one.

They have a good deal in te group buys section or you can get some okay ones on Ebay.

Good Luck.
