A rear spoiler for a motor vehicle has a spoiler body () for deflecting a stream of air to provide an aerodynamic effect. The spoiler body () has a main spoiler () with a main surface () and an auxiliary spoiler () with an auxiliary surface (). A multi-jointed actuating kinematics () can move the main spoiler () and the auxiliary spoiler () between a storage position where the auxiliary surface () of the auxiliary spoiler () is at least partially below the main spoiler () and a use position where the auxiliary spoiler () is substantially in a common plane with the main surface ().

Spoiler for a motor vehicle

A rear region of a vehicle has an air-guiding device () with a mounting element () for the air-guiding device on the vehicle, and with at least one air-guiding element () that is shiftable between a retracted inoperative position and an extended operating position. A gap () is formed between the air-guiding element () and the mounting element () when the air guiding device () is in the extended operating position. However, the gap () can be closed via a closure device (). The closure device () has a multi-layered, flexible sheetlike structure () with at least one front outer, flexible layer () and a rear outer, flexible layer (). In the extended operating position, the front outer layer () can be stretched with the aid of a stiff clamping element () and the rear outer layer () can be stretched with the aid of a flexible clamping element ().

Air-guiding device for a vehicle

An air-guiding device () is arranged in a rear-end region of a vehicle and has a central main air-guiding element () that is displaceable from a retracted rest position into a deployed operating position. Lateral auxiliary air-guiding elements () are adjustable substantially linearly relative to the main air-guiding element () in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to be transferred from a rest position, in which they are retracted into the main air-guiding element (), into an operating position, in which they are deployed out of the main air-guiding element (). Each auxiliary air-guiding element is movable along a guide unit () in the main air-guiding element () and is guided in the guide unit () in a first direction by at least one slide element () and in a second direction by at least one guide pin ().
