Rain guard system mountable to a vehicle

A rain guard system for a vehicle, comprising:

• a rain guard device having a main body in a flat or planar configuration for shielding from precipitation, wherein the main body has at least four edges, at least two surfaces including a top surface and a bottom surface arranged along parallel planes, and one or more through-openings, wherein the main body is affixed to a roof of the vehicle, and is extended outward from the vehicle roof to partially cover a windshield of the vehicle, wherein the rain guard device is transparent to enable maximum visibility to a driver of the vehicle;
• one or more brackets, wherein each bracket having at least one hole for receiving a fastener, wherein each fastener is configured to mechanically secure the one or more holes of the one or more brackets to corresponding openings in the main body of the rain guard device;
• wherein each fastener comprises a head, a bolt attached to the head, and a nut configured to be tightened onto the bolt to adjust a distance between a rear edge of the main body and the vehicle roof and produce an air gap;
• and
• an adhesive material disposed between at least one of the brackets and the vehicle roof, thereby firmly attaching and non-invasively securing the main body of the rain guard device on to the vehicle roof.

A method for assembling a rain guard system on a vehicle, comprising:

• providing a rain guard device having a main body with one or more openings;
• attaching one or more brackets to the main body of the rain guard device, wherein each bracket has at least one hole aligned with a corresponding opening in the main body, and a top surface of each bracket is configured to create a stable abutment against a bottom surface of the main body, wherein the top surface and the bottom surface exhibit a generally planar configuration;
• securing the rain guard device to a roof of the vehicle through a fastening assembly;
• wherein one or more fasteners in the fastening assembly are inserted through the holes in the brackets and the openings in the main body;
• applying an adhesive material between at least one of the brackets and the vehicle roof such that it firmly attaches the head of each fastener on the vehicle roof;
• and
• tightening the fasteners to adjust the distance between the rain guard device and the vehicle roof, thereby maintaining a predefined aerodynamic gap.
