Abstract

A wind deflector arrangement for a motor vehicle roof having a roof opening that can be closed by means of a sliding cover. The wind deflector can be pivoted around an axis extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle along the front edge of the roof opening. The wind deflector has a body which, when the sliding cover is opened is swung out by spring power, and, when the sliding cover is closed, is swung in by a cam that is displaced as a function of the movement of the cover and which interacts with at least one lever arm that is connected with the wind deflector via a driving arrangement. The body of the wind deflector, at least partly, consists of an as extruded, extruded profiled part, the end edges of which are covered by attachment to the body of a respective end piece that, at the same time, is part of the driving arrangement connecting the lever arm with the wind deflector.
