If you cut it, the sensor will still function, but not properly or accurately. why do you want to stretch and move it. If anything cant you “flatten” it against that panel and hide it with some insulation or a wire loom?

i suppose…“that panel” would be the backside of the radiator. when i unpackaged the thing, it was coiled up in like a little spool. maybe i will just return it to that form and hide it by the controller.
