Abstract
A water deflector for use in a vehicle door comprises a sheet of ether-type open cell urethane foam having opposite side faces to which are bonded thin sheets of high strength linear low density polyethylene film. The sheet has a peripheral edge shaped to overlie the desired area within the vehicle door. At least one laterally deflectable pocket forming section is formed within the sheet. The pocket forming section is constituted of a plurality of individual side-by-side closely spaced strips of the open cell urethane foam with the low density polyethylene film on the opposite side faces bridging the spaces between the spaced strips.
