The flexible, gas impermeable seal is coupled to the first segment. The second segment includes a circumferential connecting wall and a flange extending from the circumferential connecting wall. The second fan shroud is coupled to the second segment.

Fan shroud assembly

The invention concerns an engine-mounted fan shroud for use in a vehicle that has a shroud body supported by a vehicle engine, including an outer ring made of a first material having a first stiffness, and a bodyside seal extending from and being integral with the outer ring, with the bodyside seal being made of a second material having a second stiffness that is less than the first stiffness. The bodyside seal fits into and seals around a seal opening in a body-mounted shroud that is mounted to radiator support structure.
