PIVOTING GUTTER SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE
A vehicle includes a body including an A-pillar, and a windshield having an exterior surface and a lateral edge secured to the A-pillar. The A-pillar has a first part and a second part. The first part is positioned between the second part and the lateral edge of the windshield. The first part is movable relative to the second part from a stowed position wherein an outer surface of the first part is flush with an outer surface of the second part, and a deployed position wherein the outer surface of the first part extends obliquely relative to the outer surface of the second part such that in the deployed position the first part together with the second part define a gutter shaped to collect water flowing across the exterior surface of the windshield.
Controlled roof drainage via the bellows
A gangway bellow includes an outer bellow presenting corrugations forming a plurality of valleys presenting each a valley top portion facing upwardly and connected at each end to a valley top corner forming a junction between the valley top portion and a respective bellow side. The gangway bellow further includes at least one drainage channel so that liquid accumulating into at least one of the valley top portions flows through the at least one drainage channel along the respective bellow side.

TRAILER HAVING REDUCED CONTAMINATION
The trailer includes an exterior drainage system to prevent unwanted stains or blemishes caused by precipitation on the trailer. The trailer includes a main body that has an exterior wall with a first end and an opposing second end. The trailer also includes a bulkhead provided proximate the first end of the main body. The trailer also includes at least one interior chamber defined by the main body and adapted to carry a load. The trailer also includes a drainage system provided on the trailer. The drainage system includes a drainage portion extending outwardly beyond the first end of the exterior wall, said drainage portion being adapted to direct precipitation away from the bulkhead and towards a ground surface over which the trailer travels.

CO-EXTRUDED ROLL-FORMED ROOF DITCH MOLDING WITH END FORMED FEATURE
An apparatus and method, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, cutting opposing notches in side edges of a flat metallic strip to provide a flat notched strip with pairs of notches extending along a length of the flat notched strip. The flat notched strip is rolled formed to provide a profiled notched strip and a flexible material is extruded to cover the profiled notched strip to provide a roof ditch molding. The roof ditch molding is cut at notch locations to achieve a desired molding length extending between molding cut ends comprising tabs, and a pattern of flexible material is removed from the notches associated with the molding cut ends. The tabs are bent to provide final formed ends for the roof ditch molding.
