Abstract

A device for guiding an airflow in a region of a roof opening in a motor vehicle roof comprises a wind deflector and at least one additional deflector. This additional deflector has a rear end face and is movably fastened to the wind deflector and adapted to protrude vertically upwards with respect to a rear edge of the wind deflector. The wind deflector and the additional deflector are each movable from a normal, unextended position into an extended position. The additional deflector is fastened to an underside of the wind deflector when in its normal position and moves along the rear end face of the wind deflector when moving into the extended position.
