Sealing members for radiator assemblies and radiator assemblies comprising the same

A radiator assembly of a vehicle comprising:

• a radiator;
• a lower flange member coupled with the radiator;
• and
• a sealing member comprising a mounting connector, a central panel, and a flexible skirt element, the flexible skirt element being deformable and recoverable, wherein:
• the central panel has a width, an upper edge, and a lower edge, wherein the upper edge of the central panel is coupled with a mounting connector and extends across the width of the central panel;
• the mounting connector and the central panel of the sealing member are formed from a first polymeric material;
• the flexible skirt element of the sealing member is formed from a second polymeric material, the first polymeric material being relatively harder than the second polymeric material;
• the sealing member is coupled with the lower flange member;
• and
• the flexible skirt element of the sealing member is coupled with the lower edge of the central panel and extends across the width of the central panel and extends below a bottom of the radiator.

A vehicle comprising:

• a radiator-support member extending across a width of an engine compartment of the vehicle;
• and
• a radiator assembly positioned on the radiator-support member, the radiator assembly comprising:
• a radiator;
• a lower flange member coupled with the radiator;
• and
• a sealing member coupled with the lower flange member, the sealing member comprising a mounting connector, a central panel, and a flexible skirt element, wherein:
• the central panel comprises a width, an upper edge, and a lower edge;
• the mounting connector coupled with the upper edge of the central panel extending across the width of the central panel;
• the mounting connector and the central panel are formed from a first polymeric material;
• and
• the flexible skirt element being elastically deformable and recoverable, wherein the sealing member extends from the lower flange member and rests on the radiator-support member, the flexible skirt element of the sealing member conforming to a shape of the radiator-support member, the flexible skirt element is formed from a second polymeric material, the first polymeric material being relatively harder than the second polymeric material.
