Abstract

Wind protection device on an openable roof portion of a motor vehicle having a curved wind deflection member on which a flexible wind protection structure is retained and which has at least one lateral wind deflection arm which can be displaced by means of a guiding mechanism in the vertical direction and in the longitudinal direction of the openable roof portion in such a manner that the curved wind deflection member can be displaced between a lower rest position and an upwardly deployed operating position in which the wind protection structure is set up. The guiding mechanism includes a resilient unit in order to support the movement of the curved wind deflection member into the operating position thereof. The guiding mechanism also has a linear force guide having a curved guiding path, along which the curved wind deflection member is displaced in the longitudinal and vertical direction relative to the roof portion.
