Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A rear air-guiding device ( 20 ) for a fastback motor vehicle ( 10 ) is arranged in the region of a roof rear edge ( 15 ) above a rear window ( 13 ) and includes an air-guiding element ( 22 ) that is movable from a rest position ( 30 ) into at least one operational position ( 31; 32 ). The rear air-guiding device has a gap sealing device that seals off a gap between a leading edge of the air-guiding element ( 22 ) and a body surface when the air-guiding device ( 20 ) is in the operational position ( 31; 32 ) and around which air would flow during driving.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A fastback motor vehicle, comprising: a roof with a rear edge; a rear window rearward of and lower than the rear edge of the roof; a rear air-guiding device arranged in a region of the rear edge of the roof and above the rear window, the rear air-guiding device including an air-guiding element that is movable between a rest position and at least one operational position; and a gap sealing lip formed from a flexible material and attached to a region of a leading edge of the air-guiding element, the gap sealing lip being sealingly engaged with the region of the rear edge of the roof so that the sealing lip seals off a gap between the leading edge of the air-guiding element and a body surface of the motor vehicle in the rest position and in the at least one operational position of the air-guiding element so that an air flows between the air-guiding element and the body surface is prevented during driving. 2. The fastback motor vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the air-guiding element is a spoiler blade. 3. The fastback motor vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the spoiler blade is an airfoil profile. 4. The fastback motor vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the sealing lip is injection molded onto the air-guiding element.
