Abstract

A wind deflector for the sliding top of a motor vehicle wherein pivoting of the deflector from a collapsed to an upward effective position is controlled in precisely-timed relation with and by sliding of the top from an closed to an open position, respectively, so that contact or interference between the two parts is avoided. The top may be adjusted after installation so that it is flush with the surrounding portion of the vehicle, without, however, varying the aforesaid timed relation.
