Abstract
A windshield unit having side visors capable of performing multiple functions. The side visors are attached to a lower portion of a front cowl. The side visors are formed by transparent plate members and each have a slant portion which is inclined so that a lower side portion of the slant portion projects forwardly of a vehicle. Apertures are formed in an upper portion of the side visors, so that a part of the running wind passes through the apertures, reducing the running resistance of the vehicle. Another part of the running wind generates a down-force on the vehicle due to the action of the slant portions.
