Abstract:
Motor vehicle roof with at least one roof opening in a fixed roof surface, a sliding cover with which the roof opening is selectively closed and at least partially exposed, a cover drive for displacing the sliding cover, and with a wind deflector which is located along a front edge of the roof opening, a wind deflector operating mechanism for displacing the wind deflector between a lowered rest position when the roof opening is closed and a raised working position when the roof opening is at least partially open; wherein the wind deflector operating mechanism is coupled to one of the cover drive and the sliding cover by a free travel coupling such that, when the roof is opened, the wild deflector is raised into said working position on a delayed basis after the sliding cover is first moved a predetermined distance from the closed position in an opening direction; wherein the wind deflector is elastically prestressed in a direction toward said working position and is displaced into said rest position against spring force by means of the wind deflector operating mechanism; and wherein a sliding jaw is dynamically connected via the free travel coupling to the cover drive such that the sliding jaw releases the respective lever arm when the cover drive has moved the sliding cover said predetermined distance in the opening direction.
