ABSTRACT:
A collapsible wind deflector includes two arms that rotate generally toward each other. When a panel on a vehicle roof is in an open position, resilient members fixed about pivot axes in each arm biases the arms to stand vertically in a deployed position with respect to the vehicle roof. A web attached to the arms is held taut to deflect wind away from a roof opening. When the panel is moved to a closed position, a ram on each side of the panel pushes against a corresponding cam feature of the wind deflector, causing each cam feature to push each arm against the biasing force of its corresponding resilient member, and force each arm to rotate inward toward the other arm, collapsing the web.
