The flexible rubber shrouds left and right of the cooling stack (in conjunction with a third rubber shroud attached to the hood) are (I believe) there to help fresh air be channeled directly through the hood grill with protective screen. The shrouds also minimize surrounding airborne debris in wheel wells being drawn directly onto the stack, bypassing screening. Of course, I could be entirely wrong in that assumption.
On my Humvee, I found both shrouds completely collapsed. To maintain them in a more vertical position so the shrouds contact the hood, I drilled a small hole near the top of each existing bracket and used 10-24x1/2” fasteners to secure the shrouds to each bracket. Works fine. I cleaned the original shrouds and sprayed them with flat black. They look like new.
