Abstract
A rear air deflector includes a shield which is mounted directly to a vehicle using expandable insert style fasteners. The shield is spaced apart from the window frame, except at the ends of the shield which engage the frame. The shield is concave substantially along its length, though the ends are flattened for mating engagement with the window frame. The opposite end portions of the shield have a reverse-curve profile such that the ends are parallel to the window frame surface for mating engagement with the surface. The direct mounting of the deflector to the vehicle eliminates the need for mounting brackets.
