ABSTRACT:
Wind deflector for motor vehicle roofs with a cover to close or open a roof opening. The wind deflector exhibits an air conducting profile placed on the front edge of the roof opening that can be pushed out into an operating position under the influence of spring force and actuating arms connected to it which are hinged to pivot on an integral part of the roof and which, by sliding the cover in the closing direction, lower the air conducting profile member into a nonoperating position. The air conducting profile member carries a stopping strip which extends at least almost entirely over its full length and which, in the operating position of the wind deflector, lies against a stop on the front edge of the roof opening and thus limits the pushing-out movement of the wind deflector. The spring force is coordinated to the bending strength of the assembly consisting of the air conducting profile member and the stopping strip so that this assembly, by pressing the stopping strip on the stop, is automatically forced to form a curvature in the lengthwise direction of the air conducting profile that at least approximately corresponds to the curvature of the roof.
