ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention has to do with a releasable splash guard assembly for an automotive vehicle, usually a commercial truck. The assembly includes a main support bar that extends transversely of the width of the vehicle and is connected to the frame of the vehicle. Telescopically engaging the support bar is a rectangular elongate tube having a slot along its lower side that acts as a splash guard discharge bracket. A splash guard is formed with an enlarged upper end having a thickness greater than that of the slot. The upper end of the splash guard is configured to slide inside the elongate tube with the lower body of the splash guard extending downwardly through the slot. Releasable pins are located through the discharge bracket to hold and position the enlarged end of the splash guard in the discharge bracket. The discharge bracket is made of a resilient material so that its slot and the enlarged end of the splash guard provide co-operating elements of pull out release means so that the splash guard my be pulled from the discharge bracket without substantial damage to either the splash guard or the discharge bracket. A splash guard and anti- sail assembly are described wherein the anti-sail device attaches to the splash guard.
