Abstract: An air guide system (32) for a vehicle front end structure (20) includes a first air guide (34) and a second air guide (36). Each air guide (34, 36) includes a body (40) attachable to a front-end carrier (28) and a serpentine compression section (28) coupled to the body and configured to project from a frontward facing side (33) of the front-end carrier (44). The first and second air guides (34, 36) project toward a vehicle fascia (26), and each serpentine compression section (44) collapses in response to interference from the vehicle fascia (26) to create a seal between a cooling module (30) and the vehicle fascia (26).
