A rear-end air guide device for a motor vehicle includes a rear spoiler having a spoiler surface and a rear wing arranged in a vehicle vertical direction above the rear spoiler. The spoiler surface faces toward the rear wing, and the spoiler surface facing toward the rear wing is adjustable in a vehicle longitudinal direction.

An air guide device for a motor vehicle having an air guide element and a movement mechanism. The air guide element forming a rear side part of a body of the motor vehicle so as to be movable relative to the remaining body. The air guide element is movable between an inoperative position and at least one operating end position. The air guide element, in its inoperative position, is flush with the remaining body. The rear side part has a flow guide surface which faces an environment of the motor vehicle and along which air flows. The air guide element has a surface which is at least part of the flow guide surface. The air guide element, in its operating end position, is configured to extend the flow guide surface along a body longitudinal axis (X) of the body.

A rear spoiler system includes a roof portion forming an upper frame of a vehicle body, a rear spoiler positioned at the rear of the vehicle body, connected to the roof portion and including an opening through which air passes, a variable shutter positioned at the rear spoiler to adjust the opening amount and opening position of the opening, and an actuator operating the variable shutter.

A motor vehicle body with an air-guiding device and with a trailer coupling mounting device. The air-guiding device is formed in a rear-end region of the motor vehicle body. The trailer coupling mounting device is adjustable into a rest position and into an active position. The trailer coupling mounting device, in at least the rest position, is at least partially covered with respect to surroundings by the air-guiding device, which is settable into a first operating position and a second operating position. For positioning the trailer coupling mounting device into its active position, the air-guiding device is settable into its second operating position and, after or together with the positioning of the air-guiding device into its second operating position, the trailer coupling mounting device is configured to be movable along a body vertical axis (Z) of the motor vehicle body.

A motor vehicle body includes an air-guiding device and a trailer coupling mounting device. The air-guiding device is formed in a rear-end region of the motor vehicle body, and the trailer coupling mounting device is adjustable into a rest position and into an active position. The trailer coupling mounting device, in at least the rest position, is at least partially covered by the air-guiding device, which is settable into a first operating position and a second operating position. For positioning of the trailer coupling mounting device into its active position, the trailer coupling mounting device is movable along a body longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle body, and, before or together with the positioning of the trailer coupling mounting device into its active position, the air-guiding device is settable into an intermediate position which has a pivot angle greater than a pivot angle of the second operating position.

A rear arrangement for a vehicle includes a trailer coupling mount and a rear diffuser having an adjustable air-guiding element which is adjustable between a retracted position and an extended position. The trailer coupling mount is pivotable about a pivot axis, which is congruent or parallel to the vehicle transverse axis (y), between an inoperative position and a use position. The air-guiding element in the retracted position at least partially conceals the trailer coupling mount, and the air-guiding element has to be brought into the extended position so that the trailer coupling mount can be pivoted into the use position.

A body part for a motor vehicle with a positioning structure is provided. The body part includes an outer panel and an inner panel, and a backside of the outer panel is provided with a positioning structure to position the outer panel relative to the inner panel for their assembly, the positioning structure including a clamping seat configured to receive a shaft of a rack for positioning the outer panel thereon during manufacturing of the outer panel, and to be engaged in an opening of the inner panel to position the outer panel relative to the inner panel. The positioning structure combines the arrangements of both positioning holes and positioning ribs, thereby greatly enhancing the eligibility rate of spray painting and welding stability.

An active liftgate spoiler used on a liftgate of a vehicle. The liftgate has an upper surface and is typically a rear liftgate or hatch on the rear side of the vehicle. A housing is connected to the upper surface of the liftgate. There is a moveable panel connected to the housing using a connection. The connection is formed by a four bar linkage that forms a portion of the connection between the moveable panel and the housing. An actuator, which in one embodiment is a single rotary actuator is connected to the four bar linkage and causes the movement of the moveable panel.

A drive unit for an air deflector element of a motor vehicle includes a drive motor transmission unit formed by a drive motor connected with, as a single unit, at least one transmission, a control unit configured to control the drive unit, and a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the drive unit.
