In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, in which the antidazzle screen is mounted in front of the front window of a closed vehicle body, the brackets 1 are attached to any convenient part of the coach-work, and an angle-iron 6 prevents rain from passing over the frame member 3 and run. ning down the window. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the brackets 7 are shaped to engage the wind-screen pillars 8 and are supported at their forward edges by stays 10, while entrance of rain to the interior of the frame is prevented by a flexible rubber or like strip 11 bearing against the wind-screen and by a channel member 13 mounted on the frame member 3 to divert rain blown up the outer surface of the screen 5. In each construction, the frame members 2, 3 are of channel section, and the webs of the members 2 at their forward edges 4 are bent inwardly against the side flanges to close in the side channels and assist in retaining the screen within the frame.
