Abstract: A windshield adjusting system for adjusting a windshield of a vehicle includes a rail adapted for connection to the vehicle and a bracket connected to the windshield. The rail includes a position profile and the bracket includes an alignment portion and a latch with a lock profile that is configured to selectively engage the complementary position profile to secure the windshield in a desired position.

Abstract: An accessory mounting assembly and method of mounting to a vehicle may include an accessory bracket removably connected to a mounting bracket. The accessory bracket may include a connection mechanism including a biasing portion, a pre-load portion, a lock portion, and a release portion. The mounting bracket may include a lock groove configured to align in registration a slot on the accessory bracket and engage the lock portion in order to prevent unintentional removal of the accessory bracket from the mounting bracket.

Abstract: An air deflector for a roof opening has an upper shield unit and a lower mounting strip. The mounting strip has a narrow portion to allow flexibility in conforming to the roof surface.

Abstract: An air flow control device for attachment to a window frame of a vehicle door. The device includes a flow deflector element mounting clips and fasteners securing the clips to the deflector element. The deflector element has an upper margin adapted to contact the outer surface of the window frame and the clip element lies between a part of the window frame and a dual channel insert, one channel of which receives a window frame-forming seam and the other of which receives the window glass. The clips lie between the insert and the window frame and bias the upper margin of the deflector into or toward contact with the window frame such that the clip itself does not contact the outer window frame surface.

Abstract: A shield assembly for attachment to the hood of the road vehicle wherein the shield assembly includes a one-piece deflector unit with a principal section adapted to protect the exterior surface of the vehicle hood and a rearwardly extending mounting section, a plurality of mounting brackets, each including hood attachment and shield attachment sections, with the mounting brackets being secured to the shield by frangible fasteners having an ultimate yield strength such that forces tending to separate the deflector unit from the brackets will cause the fasteners to break before the elastic limits of the deflectors unit are reached or exceeded.
