Abstract

To require a wind deflection structure for a vehicle which can restrain aerodynamic performance from being decreased by maintaining sealability of wind deflection guide which guides air.SOLUTION: A wind deflection structure 10 for a vehicle includes a lower bumper 11. The wind deflection structure 10 is arranged at predetermined position behind the lower bumper 11 and includes a lower grill 12 which is provided with an opening 12a. The wind deflection structure 10 includes a wind deflection guide 13 which is disposed behind of the opening 12a of the lower grill 12. A first end part 14 of the wind deflection guide 13 is fixed to a vehicle body 2. A second end part 15 of the wind deflection guide 13 is free end and comes into contact with the lower grill 12. There is provided on the lower grill 12 a regulation part 16 which regulates movement to leeward side of the second end part 15 by standing up on side separating from the opening 12a which is on the leeward side of the second end part 15.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
