Here's a question for all you Flexers in the Great White North: where do you feed the block heater cord through the front of the Flex? Every opening within reach is too small for the plug to fit through. I know there's got to be a hole big enough, but neither I nor the salesman can find one. Can someone with a block heater solve the puzzle for me?

I just used mine for the first time the other week. I don't think there is a hole for it. Here is my reasoning. How many people have driven off with the chord still plugged in? I suspect that they made it so you have to pop the hood everytime and leave it open a little to access the plug. You will generally notice your hood not being closed, but may forget about the chord being plugged in.

I also have noticed on newer Chevy diesel trucks and Ford Diesel trucks that the block heater chord is in a similar spot, thus having to open the hood to connect the chord.

That's my 2 cents worth.
