Abstract:
1. An open roof construction for a vehicle having a roof opening formed in a fixed roof, comprising: a stationary part, at least one closure element configured to move between a closed position in which the closure element closes the roof opening, and an open position in which the closure element releases said roof opening at least partly, by a movement of an operating mechanism along the stationary part, a wind deflector assembly, comprising at least a wind deflector arm, which is pivotally connected, with a first end, to the stationary part, and which carries, at a second opposite end, a wind deflector body extending in a transverse direction with respect to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and a spring biasing the wind deflector assembly in an upward direction, said wind deflector assembly being configured to move between at least a first, operative position, in which the wind deflector body is positioned above an upper surface of the roof, and a second, inoperative position in which the wind deflector body is positioned in a storage position, below the upper surface of the roof, wherein said closure element is configured to move the wind deflector assembly to at least the second position, and at least one guiding clamp configured to guide the wind deflector assembly during a second part of the movement from the first operative position to the second inoperative position in which the wind deflector assembly comes in contact with the at least one guiding clamp, and wherein the wind deflector assembly is out of contact with the at least one guiding clamp in a first part of the movement, the at least one guiding clamp having two legs, at least one of which engages an outer shape of the wind deflector body or arm at least partly when the wind deflector assembly is in the second inoperative position.
