Abstract
The invention relates to an air guidance device which responds to externally applied forces by movement whereby the externally applied forces do not damage said air guidance device. Embodiments of this invention include at least one hinge pivotally attached to the body wall at the rear of a motor vehicle. Said hinge arrangements allow air guidance device to be pivoted upwardly when subjected to external forces such as a washing brush of a car wash when said brush passes over a passenger car in a driving direction. The air guidance device so configured is neither damaged when driving through the car wash, nor is the washing cycle unintentionally interrupted.
