ABSTRACT:
The air guide surface of a wind deflector for automobile sliding roofs consists of an elastic profile strip, tapering downwards, i.e. continually decreasing in thickness, of a rubber-elastic material, which is fixed to a rigid bar, adapted to the transverse curvature of the roof plate and mounted upwardly sprung on the sliding roof frame. The elastic profile strip bears, in the working position, sealingly against the forward roof opening rim, with the result that an undisturbed and therefore largely noiseless air flow is achieved, even with the sliding lid only slightly open, and even with the wind deflector not completely raised. The inclined position and construction of the elastic profile strip make possible, when the wind deflector is moved into its stowed position, a rolling-up or rolling-in deformation of the elastic profile strip virtually inside the water gutter of the sliding roof frame, so that the stowed space requirement of the wind deflector, particularly as regards height, is very small.
