DRIVE
April 16, 2026
An active shutter vane assembly has a mini-vane base member which includes an actuation attachment portion and a vane attachment portion. A beauty vane, which includes a cooperating attachment structure for attachment of the beauty vane to the mini-vane, is attached to the mini-vane. This allows the beauty vane to be interchangeable and preselected for a particular vehicle during assembly. The mini-vane and beauty vane assembly attach to an active shutter assembly which is used on several different vehicle platforms and the beauty vanes may be customized to each platform.
