The present invention relates to a roof rack assembly and a hood light-blocking fabric assembly, the roof rack assembly comprising: a pair of roof racks coupled to the roof of a vehicle; a photovoltaic generation light-blocking module coupled to be able to move forward/backward along the pair of roof racks and configured to expose/cover the roof and to block sunlight; a light-blocking plate transfer portion for applying a driving force such that the photovoltaic generation light-blocking module moves forward/backward along the pair of roof racks and is unfolded over the roof of the vehicle or is folded; a converter for converting electric energy generated by the photovoltaic generation light-blocking module into power that can be used by the light-blocking plate transfer plate and the vehicle; an accumulator for storing power converted by the converter; and a controller for controlling supply of power by the converter and the accumulator.

The present invention relates to a glass plate including a first main surface subjected to antiglare treatment, and a second main surface opposed to the first main surface, in which a clarity index value T, a reflection image diffusiveness index value R and an anti-sparkle index value S satisfy respective relations of: clarity index value T0.8; reflection image diffusiveness index value R0.01; and anti-sparkle index value S0.85; and a transmission haze measured by a method according to JIS K 7136 (2000) being 15% or less. The glass plate of the present invention is excellent in clarity, reflection image diffusiveness and anti-sparkle, and also excellent in reproducibility of color.

A roof system for a vehicle having a roof opening in a roof part thereof comprises a transparent panel in the roof opening, and a ventilation system for moving air into and/or out of the vehicle interior. The ventilation system includes an air guiding channel guiding air between the vehicle interior and the environment through at least one ventilation opening. The air guiding channel is fitted centrally below the transparent panel and extends in longitudinal direction of the vehicle, substantially completely along the panel and communicates with the interior at least along a substantial length of the panel through holes.

A plastic glazing of a tailgate of a vehicle is provided, the plastic glazing comprising a translucent component, wherein a portion of the translucent component forms a rear window of the vehicle, a colored component molded onto the translucent component in a second shot, wherein the colored component comprises a lens of a light unit, a non-transparent component molded onto the translucent component, wherein an overlapping portion of the translucent component and the non-transparent component forms a blackout region proximate to the rear window, wherein the plastic glazing is of one-piece molded plastic construction, wherein the translucent component comprises a first textured surface in a region adjacent to the blackout region, where the first textured surface is configured to conceal a component of the vehicle.

A sun visor module includes: a base portion which has an accommodating space formed therein and a front portion provided at the ceiling of a front seat of a vehicle in an openable or closable form; a sun visor portion which is provided at the center of the inside of the base portion and slides in or out through the front portion of the base portion; a screen-shaped awning portion which is provided at a lower portion of the inside of the base portion to be entered in or out to the front portion of the base portion; an air discharge portion which is connected with an A-pillar of the vehicle to introduce the wind flowing in the A-pillar into the base portion; and a first blowing portion which communicates with the rear lower portion of the base portion to send the wind to the inside of the vehicle.

A coated article includes a substrate and a coating applied over at least a portion of the substrate. The coating includes: a first dielectric layer over at least a portion of the substrate; a first metallic layer over at least a portion of the first dielectric layer; a first primer layer over at least a portion of the first metallic layer; a second dielectric layer over at least a portion of the first primer layer; a second metallic layer over at least a portion of the second dielectric layer; a second primer layer over at least a portion of the second metallic layer; a third dielectric layer over at least a portion of the second primer layer; and an outermost protective layer formed over at least a portion of the third dielectric layer. The coated article wherein the RgL* value is at least 35, and no more than 55. The coated article has a total combined thickness of the metallic layers of at least 10 nanometers, and no more than 30 nanometers.

The object of this invention is to provide a laminated automotive glazing having an obscuration area produced by printing the obscuration on a film laminated between at least two layers of plastic interlayers rather than printing and firing an enamel frit onto the glass. This results in a laminate having superior optical quality, higher strength and a lower probability of breakage as compared to a laminate with a black enamel frit obscuration.

An apparatus includes an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive ambient light information from a sensor. The processor may be configured to extract from the ambient light information (a) a brightness level and (b) a direction of light, compare the brightness level to a pre-determined threshold and generate a control signal if (a) the brightness level is greater than the pre-determined threshold and (b) the direction of the light corresponds to a field of view of a driver. The ambient light information may be determined in response to light directed towards one or more windows. The control signal may be configured to adjust an amount of tinting applied to the windows. The light may be measured in real-time.
