ABSTRACT:
A splash guard for use on auto vehicles having at each wheel a body panel and a flange which in part defines a wheel well. The splash guard includes a body portion with an upper section and an adjacent mounting part formed to engage and cover the wheel well flange during use. The mounting part being curved in an upright plane of cross section whereby in use it is either undistorted or distorted into a condition of lesser curvature. The body portion also includes a lower section which is dished for enhanced splash protection, and sufficiently curved to disguise splash guard deformation and a lack of parallelism with a road surface. A flange portion projects from the body portion in a rearward direction during use and is preferably of a material capable of deforming to effect a seal between the flange portion and body panel. The flange portion includes a surface which engages the body panel and which is at an acute angle with the surface which engages the wheel well flange.
