ABSTRACT:
A deflector apparatus includes a shield having a top, a bottom, a forward leading edge, a rear trailing edge, opposite sides, a forward zone between the forward leading edge and a transverse center line, and a rearward zone between the transverse center line and the rear trailing edge. A mounting structure rotatably supports the shield above a vehicle windshield and roof about a transverse rotational axis extending between the opposite sides of the shield and parallel to the center line in the forward zone, allowing the shield to move about the axis, through a predetermined range, in response to a rotational force applied thereto. The rotational axis is located forward and above the line intersecting the roof and the top of the windshield. A biasing element urges the shield to a normally relaxed position upon removal of external downward forces to the rearward zone.
