Abstract

A wind deflector mechanism for a vehicle sliding roof system includes a wind deflector lever attached to a wind deflector element. The wind deflector lever is attachable to a vehicle and can be swiveled between a home position and a raised position. A raising lever is coupled to the wind deflector lever and swivels the wind deflector lever between the home position and the raised position. A raising spring acts upon the raising lever substantially in such a manner that the raising lever biases the wind deflector lever toward the raised position.
