ABSTRACT:
A deflector screen for mounting at the front of a vehicle includes an extruded mounting strip having a pair of flanges defining a vertical channel along the length of the strip for receiving a substantially rigid plastic screen. The screen is held within the channel by a shoulder on an inward face of the rear flange which cooperates with a groove formed along the length of the screen. A front face of the front flange carries a longitudinal slot to which can be attached a facing strip carrying a chromed surface. The base strip is of a mat black finish so that the facing strip can be applied or removed to provide different appearances. A rear mounting portion defined by a pair of horizontal flanges having a horizontal channel therebetween is formed on the mounting strip and includes transverse slots set at spaced locations along the length of the strip to allow bending of the strip at specific points. A cover portion can be slipped into place and held in the mounting channel to extend over the slots when not used. A mounting bracket includes a web carried in the mounting channel and held thereby by a screw passing through the flanges into a rib on the underside of the lower flange. The mounting bracket includes planar fingers extending from the web each finger being separately bendable by a tool so that the bracket can be formed into shape by the end user.
