ABSTRACT:
Passenger vehicle roof structure is provided which includes an opening, a tiltable cover member for selectively closing the opening, and a wind deflector which is separate from the cover member and which is attachable at the forward end of the opening when the cover member is removed. In order to accommodate ready exchange of the tiltable cover member and the wind deflector, with a minimum of structural parts, each of the wind deflector and cover member is provided with a pair of plug-in elements which in turn are detachably connectable in corresponding mating plug-in elements fixed at the forward end of the opening. In particularly preferred embodiments, the wind deflectors are provided with resiliently biased safety clip structures for retaining the wind deflector in the attached position, especially in opposition to forces experienced during vehicle braking.
