Abstract
A vehicle splash guard includes a flexible body and at least one reinforcement member. The flexible body has a body panel attachment area that is configured to abut a vehicle body panel. The reinforcement member is fixedly connected to the flexible body. The reinforcement member has at least one bending portion. The bending portion is a portion of weakness in the reinforcement member to enable the reinforcement member to deform at the bending portion in a direction towards the vehicle body panel to reduce a space between the splash guard and the vehicle body panel when the splash guard is installed onto the vehicle body panel.
