ABSTRACT:
A raisable hood plate mechanism for a vehicle hood comprises a pair of large plates laterally spaced in separate centered openings on opposite sides of the hood. The plates are pivotable along front edges and raisable at rear edges to provide rear-facing engine compartment ventilation, as well as glare deflection from the operator's eyes and bug and stone deflection from the windshield. The plate can be opened manually or by mechanical, fluid or electrical remote actuation mechanisms. An automatic closer can be employed. The plate can be light transmissive and solar collectors can be used with the plate.
