ABSTRACT:
A rear-mounted air guide device for a motor vehicle includes an air guide element which can be adjusted in relation to the vehicle body between a retracted inactive position and an extended active position. In the retracted inactive position, the air guide element, which forms the upper body surface in some regions, has a different attack angle than in the extended active position, in which the air guide element extends in a spaced manner to the upper body surface. A device, provided for fastening and adjusting the air guide element, has a simpler design, can be produced more inexpensively, and requires little space, is provided by way of at least one support, seated displaceably on the vehicle body, which can be moved in the vertical direction and which includes on its upper end region a contact area for the air guide element pivoted on the support. The air guide element, in the extended active position, rests in some regions on the contact area of the support and is held in this position by a spring element. In retracted inactive position, the air guide element is swiveled against the action of the spring element and is supported on its bottom by the vehicle body.
