Abstract: The present invention provides a method of mounting a fairing to a roof of a vehicle and a method of manufacturing a mounting frame for mounting a fairing to a roof of a vehicle. The mounting frame has a lower portion for mounting to the roof of the vehicle and an upper portion for securing the fairing. The mounting frame is formed by determining a contour of the mounting surface, creating a mould for moulding the lower portion of the mounting frame having a bottom edge configured generally complementary to the contour of at least a portion of the mounting surface, and moulding an upper portion affixed to the lower portion and having an outer face configured generally complementary to an interior surface of the fairing.
Abstract: A modular wind deflector is constructed from a plurality of wind deflecting panels. The panels include edge flanges for attaching adjacent panels together, which also form ribs on the inside of the wind deflector creating a substructure for resisting wind forces.
