No, the problem as already mentioned is that the coolant wouldn't absorb as much heat. To give a little more technical explanation, the lower cover creates low pressure behind the radiator, forcing the air through. Otherwise, it would spill over as IJ said.
If I was home I would stop by and look at it, free of charge. Of course, I won't fix anything free of charge, save for the inlaws. (for the OP)

I'll take your word for it...I think I'm going to bit the bullet and call the dealership about a replacement under tray
That and a Block test kit would be my first step in diagnosing this.DOUBL3 D;1862821 said:
Buy some big diameter stainless steel washers (minimum 1 inch with a 6mm hole or 1/4", also 12x m6x 1.0 pitch Stainless 20mm long bolts to hold your new tray in and reduce the chance of trashing it in the furure.)
hmm this tray you speak of
my supra has it...currently removed due to intercooler mounting
i dont overheat in 95 degree weather with a/c on and no tray
compression test, block test

As I said earlier the tray is good for about 5c difference at highway speeds, IF a cooling system is marginal it might be just enough to tip it over into H...
Marginal could mean blocked/bent fins in the Rad or AC core, partially blocked tubes in the rad, erroded waterpump impeller and or missing blockers around the radiator.
People shouldn't assume because their car is fine running xx configuration that everyone's should be fine.

I'd contribute more but I typically get involved only in difficult to diagnose issues. Yours is simple.
Yeah he's just like that. Take a look at his post and you'll see what I'm talking about. It's just best to ignore.
That came out wrong. I didn't mean the problem is simple or even that I know what it is. I meant simple to diagnose.

I just see it as somewhat counter productive for admin to say, but that's just my 2 cents. Anyway let's get this thread back on topic

Whoops. I guess his O.G. status led me aloof. My apologies, if you would like to delete my previous postfeel free to
Nah no harm done, Gary is a Crotchety old fart like me, he somehow avoided being roped into trying to herd cats here (Moderator) I sadly didn't
He is however one of the more knowledgeable guys on Supra Mania and over the years has provided brilliant technical assistance to members, I can understand his frustration at times trying to "Put Brains In Monuments" as a LOT of our members are resistant to learning on any level.

Understood, thank you for your kind explanation
