The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to a quick release grill guard further comprising at least one latching system configured for the quick release and pivot of the grill guard away from the vehicle grill face. The quick release grill guard may comprises a vehicle coupling portion, a clasped member an elongate bar and a clasping member. The clasping member may be constructed and arranged to be releasably engaged with the clasped member. Further, actuation of the elongate bar may cause the clasping member and clasped member to disengage.

A grill guard assembly has a vehicle coupling portion mounted to the vehicle forwardly of the vehicle grill. A hinge couples a coupling portion of a grill guard frame on the vehicle coupling portion to pivot between a working position extending primarily upwardly and a lowered position extending primarily forwardly. A latch assembly has a clamping surface and a clamping jaw supported on opposing ones of the vehicle coupling portion and the grill guard coupling portion. An over-center linkage operatively connects the clamping jaw to the respective coupling portion and the second coupling portion such that the linkage is rotated through an over-center position between open and closed positions of the jaw, whereby the clamping force of the jaw acts to urge the jaw to remain closed.

A first fastening portion is provided on a surface on the inner side of a sensor cover. A first support portion is provided around an opening of an exterior component. The first fastening portion is fastened to the first support portion, with the first fastening portion being allowed to be unfastened from the first support portion. The exterior component includes a tubular wall portion. The tubular wall portion includes an attaching hole. Part of the near-infrared sensor is arranged inside the tubular wall portion through an attaching hole of the tubular wall portion. The near-infrared sensor includes a second fastening portion. The exterior component includes a second support portion on or outside the tubular wall portion. The second fastening portion is fastened to the second support portion, with the second fastening portion being allowed to be unfastened from the second support portion.

A radiator protection device that protects a vehicle radiator from debris and damage is disclosed. The device is a multi-layer system that is flexible enough to be installed and removed through the radiator grill or other openings into the vehicle's radiator compartment. Installed configuration requires no mounting features nor support provisions due to the nature of fitment and resiliency of device to return to original shape.
