    Default Two types of suburban rear-air deflectors

    One style points down. This will deflect air downward over the rear-window to help keep it clean and dirt free.

    The other style points up to act as an air dam to make towing a trailer more aerodynamic.

    I think that the first type is an option on some packages. There are at least 100 companies selling those aftermarket.

    I don't have either one on my truck.... Couldn't find either of the parts in the CK Resto catalog either.

    There are quite a few different places that make and/or distribute those pieces. Some are the sports shops, some are trailier/camping shops. Get them online to save a considerable amount of $$.

    It's funny that you ask. I see them all over the place, so I just assumed that they're easy to get. I'll have to look a little bit.
