Abstract
A shroud for surrounding an upper end of a vehicle steering column includes first and second portions. The first portion defines a first opening through which the steering column extends. The second portion at least in part defines a second opening through which a turn signal actuator mounted on the steering column extends. The second portion can be mounted in different positions relative to the first portion depending on the position of the turn signal actuator relative to the steering column. The second portion at least partially closes the first opening defined by the first portion when the second portion is in the different positions. The second portion has a third opening through which the steering column extends.
