Abstract
A deflector shield for trucks and other vehicles is releasably connected to upper and side edges of the truck's radiator grille. The deflector comprises a shield mounted on a base and the base has a pair of lateral flexible frames for attachment along the grille's upper edge, each frame extending away from the grille's center toward its side edges. An inclined channel is formed at the juncture of the concave front wall and inclined rear wall of the frame for receiving the elongated transparent shield therein and the entire base portion of the deflector shield can be secured to the radiator grille by means of screws or the like.
