Abstract
A mounting system for a heat exchanger includes an isolator fabricated of a nitrile rubber material to dampen vibrations. The isolator includes a body portion and a pair of legs. The body portion includes a pair of openings sized to receive a vehicle hood latch support. The legs include contoured inner surfaces and are sized to straddle the top surface of the heat exchanger. A vehicle hood latch support assembly is frictionally attached within the isolator body portion openings. As the vehicle is initially assembled, the isolator legs straddle the heat exchanger to secure the heat exchanger to the vehicle.
