1. A device for closing a motor vehicle cooling module, comprising
a first and second closure element for closing air inlets in a motor vehicle,
a first and a second guide element for guiding the closure elements during an opening and a closing movement,
a first and a second control elements for controlling an opening and a closing movement of the closure elements,
wherein the closure elements and the guide elements are arranged relative to one another and can be controlled by the control elements in such a way that air inlets in a motor vehicle can be opened and closed by the closure elements along a vehicle width, wherein two air inlets arranged opposite one another along a vehicle width can be opened and closed simultaneously by the closure elements,
wherein the closure elements and the guide elements are arranged with respect to one another and can be controlled by the control elements in such a way that the closure elements can be moved from the vehicle center towards the vehicle outer regions during an opening movement and from the vehicle outer regions towards the vehicle center during a closing movement, the second control element is provided for opening the closure elements, the second control element being connected to the closure elements in such a way that the closure elements can be wound onto the guide elements during an opening movement, while the cable pulls of the second control element can be unwound at least partially from the second control element, wherein a first and second end strip is provided for securing the closure elements to the control elements, wherein the end strips have a first end strip element and a second end strip element for fastening the closure elements, wherein the closure elements can be clamped between the first and second end strip elements.
