It won't. It's a factory design 'flaw' where the fasteners that hold the grille to the radiator support don't allow enough expansion/contraction and forces the plastic grille to bow. My '07 F250 Harley does the exact same thing. The chrome grilles fare better as they seem to be a little harder than the unpainted (gray) or painted (body-colored) grilles like yours and mine.
