Abstract

A draft deflector for a sliding or sliding-lifting vehicle roof structure such as a sunroof includes a base body, which guarantees dimensional stability and strength, and flexible plastics elements secured to the base body. The flexible elements reduce vibration, wind noise or both. In some examples, the flexible elements are injection molded onto the base body at all locations which are relevant in terms of noise generation.
