ABSTRACT:
An air deflection assembly particularly adapted for use with vehicle sunroofs includes a substantially planar, air deflecting member pivotally mounted in spaced relationship to a leading edge of an opening in the vehicle's roof. A support comprising a pair of spaced, parallel rods has the opposite ends thereof respectively pivotally connected to the deflection member and a frame surrounding the periphery of the sunroof opening to define a pair of transversely extending pivot axes which permit adjustment of both the elevation and inclination of the deflection member. In an elevated position above the vehicle's roof, the deflection member functions to prevent wind buffeting noise. The inclination of the deflection member may be readily adjusted to deflect air passing over the sunroof into the interior of the vehicle. The deflection assembly may be employed in combination with a pivotally mounted sunroof panel forming an air scoop along the forward edge of the panel; air entering the scoop may be directed by the deflection member to a desired area within the vehicle.
