Grill Opening Reinforcement

This is the first Grill Opening Reinforcement with 100% Post Consumer Recycled Carpet Fiber Material. The material was a direct drop in with no tooling adjustments required. A 10% cost save was achieved using the recycled material compared to new material. The application recovered 536,667 yards (84 football fields) carpet. The GRO structurally ties the upper rails to the lower frame rails. It provides the general shape of the frontend and absorbs energy during a frontal impact. It also provides for a rigid mount for a crash sensor and facilitates attachment schemes for components such as head lights, hood latch and front fascia assembly.
