A rear frame assembly is provided for use in an automotive vehicle
extending between upright side walls to define a trunk opening. The rear
frame assembly includes a cross car beam extending laterally between the
side walls of the vehicle. A sail panel is fixedly secured to the cross
car beam. The sail panel includes symmetrically opposite flanges adapted
to conform to the side walls of the vehicle to define a path for
diverting a flow of water around the trunk opening. The sail panel
includes a conically shaped concavity for engaging a conical protrusion
on the vehicle for locating the rear frame assembly within the vehicle
during installation of the rear frame assembly to the vehicle.
