Disclosed herein are embodiments of a vehicle hood shield for use in protecting a vehicle hood from damage while the vehicle is in motion. The vehicle hood shield can be attached through the use of different adhesive taping configurations. Further, in some embodiments an attachment clip can be used to retain the vehicle hood shield to the vehicle hood.

Described are various embodiments of a debris deflector for shielding a defined vehicle surface region of a vehicle from airborne debris during travel. The debris deflector comprises a resilient deflector body, comprising at least an attachment panel, at least a portion of which is configured to correspond with a vehicle surface, and a shielding panel, at least a portion of which is configured to extend away from the vehicle surface when the attachment panel is attached thereto. The debris deflector further comprises an attachment mechanism provided on the attachment panel for attaching the debris deflector to the vehicle at a position forward of the defined vehicle surface region, so as to prevent the airborne debris from coming into contact with the defined vehicle surface region. Also described are various methods for shielding a defined vehicle surface region from vehicle-adherable airborne debris during travel, and various related kits.

An exemplary contaminant reducing assembly includes, among other things, an aerodynamic wing positioned directly in front of a windshield relative to a direction of flow over the windshield. The aerodynamic wing is configured to influence the flow of air over the windshield. The aerodynamic wing, in some examples, can move back and forth between a retracted position and a deployed position to influence the flow. In some examples, the windshield is coated with a hydrophobic coating, which can further facilitate contaminant reduction.

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.

Disclosed herein is a transparent protective covering to protect a windshield from bugs encountered during travel on highways or freeways. In a preferred embodiment, the invention aims to provide a transparent structure used for the protection of a windshield. The structure according to the invention is comprised of a plurality of transparent films that are coupled together, wherein the transparent film has a first side, a second side, and at least one film removing means at one of the edges of the transparent film. The removing means is provided using a thin string attached to each of the transparent films, which tears the film.
