@supersobes recently linked a G-Maps Street View image of another Volvo with the same deflector; it can be seen from closer.BK Vissers wrote: ↑16 Jul 2019 13:07 Am I seeing that right? The yellow Volvo has an air deflector in the middle of the hood?
But it seems to me too vertical and non-aerodynamic to be a deflector. It seems more a shield to avoid dirt and bugs to hit on the main windscreen.
EDIT: Yes, they are for bugs and dirt but more aerodynamic that it seems from the point of view of those images: https://www.raneystruckparts.com/volvo- ... g-shields/
