Search for Hood :

The engine hood is the engine compartment lid, jutting in front of the car body, which protects the engine and other parts of the engine compartment of the car from bad influence of the external factors. Hood is attached to the body with knuckle-hinges. On passenger cars the hood opening is held by a hidden catch. On the hood are mounted the manufacturer`s logo, the air intake and the windscreen washer spray. The hood is usually covered on the inside with a special polymer or natural material that absorbs noise.

In order to protect the windshield and the very front of the car, a hood deflector is set. This is a so-called plastic screen, which repeats exactly the car hood contours. The main purpose of the hood deflector is to protect the paint in the front of the machine and the wind deflector zone. Simply put, fine particles of dirt, flies and dust caught into the upper air stream, go round the hood and the windshield and avoid contact with windscreen and hood. The deflector is even able to protect from small stones.
