  • Publication number: 20210268895
    Abstract: A cooling air opening arrangement is for a motor vehicle front end. The cooling air opening arrangement has a peripheral edge surrounding a cooling air opening, and a plurality of slats. The slats are arranged substantially in parallel to one another and extend in the cooling air opening within the peripheral edge. The slats are arranged in a pivotably mounted manner in such a way that, in a first pivoting position, the slats are arranged such that the cooling air opening is substantially open for air flow and, in a second pivoted position, the slats are arranged to close the cooling air opening. The cooling air opening arrangement further has a peripheral sealing frame against which the slats bear in a sealing manner. The peripheral sealing frame being provided on the peripheral edge. Adjacent ones of the slats bear against one another in a sealing manner.
