Abstract
An air deflector for a vehicle cowl is provided. The air deflector includes a first side extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, an attachment portion configured for attaching the air deflector to the vehicle, resulting in an attached configuration, a second side opposite and parallel to the first side, wherein when in the attached configuration, the second side faces inward toward a centerline of the vehicle, and a hinged portion positioned on the first and/or second side such that a force applied at a top portion of the air deflector in the attached configuration causes deformation of the air deflector along the hinged portion.
