Hi there. If all the mountings are secure, the only thing I can think of is something that is pushing the fan into the radiator. Have the engine and transmission mounts checked. If the engine and transmission are moving around more that normal, the engine may be bumping the fan into the radiator. You may want to try having another qualified professional take a closer look at the car in order to see if they can pinpoint the cause of this problem.
