ABSTRACT:
A vehicle side door mirror glare screen device (34) is disclosed as including a lower mount (36) having a lower tapered end (38) that is inserted between the door window and the door and as also having an upper end that projects upwardly with an inner surface that mounts a glare screen (46) of a sheet-like construction having a sufficient size and shape to screen light glare from an associated exterior door mirror. The lower end (38) of the lower mount (36) preferably has a taper (54) that facilitates its insertion and also preferably has a generally pointed construction (56). Glare screen (46) also preferably has inclined edges (58) that facilitate its positioning and has a horizontally elongated shape that is preferably oblong. A transparent tinted plastic is preferably utilized to fabricate the glare screen (46). In one embodiment, a bonded connection (68) secures the upper end (40) of the lower mount (36) to the glare screen (46) when a two-piece construction is utilized, and, in another embodiment, the lower mount (36) and glare screen (46) are injection molded with an integral, one-piece construction. The lower mount (36) is preferably provided with surface texturing (70) that holds the glare screen device in position.
