Wind-Deflecting Baffle Attachment for Open-Air Motor Vehicles

Plain English Summary

This patent describes a wind deflector that attaches to open-air vehicles like Jeeps to reduce wind buffeting when driving without doors or roof. The device uses angled panels to redirect airflow away from passengers, making open-air driving more comfortable. It mounts easily to the vehicle frame and can be installed without permanent modifications.
