Abstract
A deflector apparatus for a vehicle includes a lower frame fixed to a roof of a vehicle and a fitting recess. A facing is held by the lower frame and an upper frame, the facing protrudes above a surface of the roof in association with an upward movement of the upper frame, the facing is folded and retracted towards a rear side in association with a downward movement of the upper frame. A guide member includes a fitting protrusion fitted in the fitting recess and elastically recovering to guide the facing to be folded at a retracting movement of the facing. A restriction wall restricts the guide member from moving such that a movable distance of the guide member in a counter-insertion direction of the fitting protrusion is a distance that is shorter than an insertion amount of the fitting protrusion relative to the fitting recess.
