A wind deflector arrangement in a sliding roof for a vehicle which includes a roof opening, the front edge of which is curved forwardly along the upper edge of a front window of the vehicle. A wind deflector is arcuated to conform with a curvature of the upper surface of the roof and with a curvature of the front edge of the roof opening. Arms are pivotally mounted on the inner side edges of the roof opening. The wind deflector is supported at rear ends thereof by the arms, so as to be able to be angular displaced with respect to the arms, through resilient members.
