Is this normal, big airflow leak path around radiator? I ask because I bought my car missing the cooling module and had to piece it all together with new parts but I can’t find anything in the parts catalog or assembly manual that indicates I’m missing a part. Seems as if air that passes through the condenser, which is well boxed to the shroud behind the grill, can escape out the side versus being forced through the radiator.

I am surprised the S550 doesn't have anything there as my S197 had stiff rubber flappers on the sides between the A/C condenser and radiator.

Great solution!

Mine was to take out the A/C and box in the radiator. This from a guy that doesn't have an interior in his car... 🤪
