Deflectors, Seals and Side Air Baffles

Air deflectors are used on various models to direct air flow to the condenser fan radiator module. Air seals are used on various models to ensure that air passes through the radiator (and A/C condenser) rather than by passing it. Air baffles are installed on various models to direct air into the radiator (or A/C condenser). A missing, damaged or incorrectly installed baffle or seal may cause engine overheating.
