Abstract

A wind protector for a passenger vehicle with a rearwardly folding top can be displaced from an inoperative position to an operative position and vice versa. For increasing the operating comfort, it is provided that the wind protector is coupled with the top via a control device in such a manner that, when the top is folded rearward into the rearward-side deposited position, the wind protector is automatically moved into its operative position.
