Abstract: A deflector assembly for an automobile sunroof (60) has an elongate acrylic visor (40) for, deflecting air from the sunroof and, a pedestal (150a) mountable to each end of the visor to form the deflector assembly. Each of the pedestals is secured onto the automobile, such as with a clip (155) and fastener (156) arrangement, to removably retain the visor adjacent the sunroof. Gaskets (48, 49) are provided as a buffer between the deflector assembly and the automobile's roof, and an inert material (48a) is placed adjacent the visor to avoid adverse reaction with the gasket material (48b).
Abstract: A clip for retaining an accessory on an edge of an automobile member has a block element for location adjacent the edge of one side of the automobile member. The clip has a plug for engaging a hole in the accessory and extending into an aperture in the block element, and a jaw for engaging the block element and a second opposed side of the automobile member. The clip is secured to the automobile member's edge by inserting a fastener through the jaw and into the block element and tightening the fastener. The fastener also engages and fixes the plug within the block member, thereby securing the accessory to the block portion and thus to the automobile member's edge.
