ABSTRACT:
A wind deflector arrangement for a motor vehicle roof of the type having a roof cutout closeable by a rigid sliding cover is provided. The wind deflector is mounted along its forward edge of the roof cutout and pivotable and about an axis located transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Lever arms are provided at each lateral side of the sliding cover and extend from a pivot connection at the sliding cover to a frame part surrounding the roof cutout. A spring is provided which biases the wind deflector to pivot about the transverse axis. In order to minimize the lateral dimensions of the wind deflector arrangement, the lever arms are disposed directly underneath guide shoes for the sliding cover. The forward portion of the guide frame for the guide shoes of the sliding cover is cut away in the position above these lever arms so that the guide shoe rides on the lever arm to close the wind deflector when the sliding cover is moved to the closed position.
