The sma= ll fins have bent due to the occasional rain shower and meaty bug so the air= flow thru it is not so good anymore. it's not a major problem but Arizona h= eat means I need all of the cooling efficiency I can get. My question is, do they make a more robust replacement? Are there any trick= s out there to keep it flowing nicely? I have spent some time with a toothp= ick trying to bend the fins back to normal, but this doesn't last more than a= flight. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Bob R
