A fin assembly of a vehicle includes a fin supported on an A-pillar and disposed along the A-pillar at a location that is interposed between and separates a side window and a windshield in a lateral direction of the vehicle. The fin is configured for being driven to a retracted condition with respect to the A-pillar where an exterior surface of the vehicle at least partially formed along an exterior surface of the windshield, an exterior surface of the fin, and an exterior surface of the side window substantially conforms to an aerodynamic shape, and for being driven to an extended condition where the exterior surface of the vehicle is at least partially formed along the exterior surface of the windshield, an exterior surface of the A-pillar located behind the fin in a front-back direction of the vehicle, and the exterior surface of the side window.
