An active aero panel assembly including at least one deployable panel, at least one drive mechanism, and at least one actuator. The active aero panel assembly improves aerodynamics.

An apparatus is for use with a pillar adjacent to a vehicle window, such as a windshield. The apparatus includes a molding for positioning adjacent to the pillar, the molding forming a channel in a deployed condition for receiving moisture from the vehicle windshield, or for reducing the effects of wind throb when a single vehicle window is open. An actuator may be associated with the molding for activating a non-deployed condition of the molding for reducing the effects of wind noise.

A clamp for clamping an object having an aperture therethrough to a member is disclosed. The clamp passes through the aperture when clamping the object to the member. The clamp has a head portion defining a channel adapted for receiving an edge of the aperture; a body portion extending from the head portion; and a tail portion extending from the body portion. The tail portion has a member contacting surface shaped for wrapping around at least a portion of a perimeter of the member. A vehicle having a windshield clamped to a frame member using at least one such clamp is also disclosed.
