Abstract:
Device for influencing the air flow in the area of a roof opening in a fixed roof surface of an openable motor vehicle roof, comprising at least one wind deflector which is vertically displaceable, in an area of a front edge of the roof opening, between a neutral position in which a top of the wind deflector does not project above the fixed roof surface, and an extended position in which the top of the wind deflector does project above the fixed roof surface,wherein the wind deflector is selectively movable into at least one stationary first extended position in which an air flow streaming over the motor vehicle roof is routed exclusively over the top of the wind deflector, and into at least one stationary second extended position in which an air flow streaming over the motor vehicle roof is routed at least partially under the wind deflector, and wherein the wind deflector is provided with openings which enable air flowing over the motor vehicle roof to flow under the wind deflector in said at least one second extended position of the wind deflector.
