The other day at a traffic light, a convertible passed in front of me
with some gizmo atop the windshield, attached to the frame. A
spoiler is the closest name I can think of.

Googling doesn't show me anything close. Has anyone here seen such a
thing? Maybe spoiler is the wrong word and that's why I can't find
it??


Maybe I want one.

My parents had one on their Plymouth. It was a two door and not
a convertible. They called it something like sunscreen, maybe sun visor.

Sort of like an awning, right? To keep the sun out of their eyes
without obstructing the view in front of the driver, like sun visors
do. I remember those. They were a good idea, just like awnings on
houses keep the sun out while not interfering with the view or the
breeze, like shades do.

But this was diferent. It went up from the windshield frame, not
forward (I should have said that.) and it was like the curved wing of
a balsa wood toy glider, but shiny metal, on legs about 2 inches above
the windshield.
