Abstract:
1. An attachment assembly for an aerodynamics-enhancing aerodynamic cover attached to a lower surface of a vehicle body panel, comprising: a substantially flat plate-shaped aerodynamic cover deployed at a prescribed height from the body panel; and a first clip and second clip for attaching to said body panel at said prescribed height; wherein: said first clip comprises a flange for making flush contact with an upper surface of said aerodynamic cover, and a shank descending straight down from said flange; said second clip comprises a flange for making flush contact with a lower surface of said aerodynamic cover, and a tubular member for accepting the shank of said first clip and connecting with said shank; wherewith: the shank of said first clip is accepted in the tubular member of said second clip, such that said aerodynamic cover is clamped between the flange of said first clip and the flange of said second clip, whereupon, said first clip and said second clip are connected together so as to hold said aerodynamic cover; the lengths of the shank of said first clip and of the tubular member of said second clip, which have been connected, are selected to lengths corresponding to said prescribed height; and said aerodynamic cover can be deployed at a position that is at said prescribed height from said body panel.
