I'm not sure what they're called but they attached to the roof gutters on the front of the bus to protect the driver and passenger from rain coming down on you when you open the door. I've been looking just about everywhere and can't find them.
Does anyone know if they are available and where I might be able to find them?

Those are pretty much unique to Brazilian buses.

If you are wanting them. They are made of deluxe belt line molding. Should be real easy to make.

I think they extend the rain gutters upwards so the rain flowing through the gutters doesn't overflow onto you when you get in or out of the bus. So only useful in heavy rainfall?

Thanks everyone for your help. But it sounds like they might be as scarce as hen's teeth.
