what are the plastic deflectors that hang in front of the front tires on 2013 fusion

Asked by shelbyfusion Sep 18, 2013 at 12:34 PM about the 2013 Ford Fusion

Question type: General

2013 fusion has plastic deflectors in front of the front wheels. What purpose do they serve. I live in an area where winter ice and snow could break these off. It does not look like they would be very cheap to replace.

I noticed that yesterday while another tech was outfitting it with radios and a GPS. I'm going to look into it.

I'm pretty sure those are tire or wheel "spats" or deflectors. They improve air flow around the tires without increasing drag.
