ABSTRACT:
Motor vehicle roof with at least one roof opening (11) which can be selectively closed or at least partially exposed by means of an sliding cover (12) which can be displaced by a cover A drive (20), and with a wind deflector (14) which is located along the front edge (13) of the roof opening and which can be operated by a wind deflector actuating mechanism (23) depending on the movements of the sliding cover or the cover drive, between a working position with the roof (10) at least partially opened and a rest position with the roof closed. To suppress wind deflector whistling noises, the wind deflector actuating mechanism is coupled to the cover drive or the sliding cover itself such that, when the roof is opened, the wind deflector is raised into the working position on a delayed basis, after the sliding cover is first moved a predetermined distance (S) in the opening direction.
