Abstract

In a stationary or pivotal wind deflector for sliding roofs of automobiles, for the purpose of attaining effective air flow drag, a brush-like coating is provided on the surface of the wind deflector plate at least in the region of the rear edge fo the wind deflector plate. The brush-like coating, which can be applied by electrostatic fiber deposition, reduces wind noise and the air vibrations in the interior of the automobile when the sliding roof is opened.
