Anyone know or experience their RR 90 degree elbow part of snorkel sitting on lower radiator hose? Is this by design or need adjustment. If adjustment is this an ASAP adjustment or when able? Thanks
 
For having it for about 3 months now everything is still fine. The 90 elbow is touching the rad hose slightly. I have a 2011 as well.

Well not the bests photos but that's all I have right now...

So word from RR is that as long as the rubbing is rubber on rubber it's fine. If you're talking rubber on metal then you'll have issues. Hope this helps anyone who may be in similar situation.
 
Here are some pics from install so if others have issue they'll know.
