It's easy to see. on the right side of the car. Under the hood. up near where you hook the servicing hoses up to the high pressure (small) line. there's a tab of the body with threads in it, and the hose has a nice rubber grommet right by the tab where a clamp should be. But no clamp. Plus the hose is too high above the tab for a clamp to work without incorporating a spacer. Apparently it's supposed to be missing because I drove back to the dealer all in a huff wanting to talk to service about the missing clamp (I just had my ac high pressure line changed for the second time). But I thought it would be wise to check under the hood of a new car first. It was missing too! So I just went home without bugging them. I looked at the whole installation, and it looks like it's support system is just barely adequate. Hope that ac line doesn't break again. They said they incorporated a new hose put out by a service bulletin this time so it shouldn't break again. I'd feel better if It was supported better, but I'm not putting a clamp there. Maybe they decided it was better off without it.
