Roof assembly for vehicle roof, and method for operating roof assembly closure panel and wind deflector

摘要

A roof assembly for a vehicle having a roof opening (2) in its fixed roof (1), comprises a frame, a movable closure (3) for opening and closing the roof opening (2), and guide rails (6) in or on the frame extending laterally of the roof opening. A closure moving mechanism is guided in the guide rails. A wind deflector (5) is positioned at a front edge of said roof opening and is movable between an inoperative lower position in which it is positioned substantially below the level of the vehicle roof (1) and at least one operative upper position in which it at least partially extends above said level. The wind deflector (5) is supported by arms (12), each extending substantially rearwards. The arms are adapted to move the wind deflector between the inoperative and operative positions. The wind deflector arms (12) are positioned in plan view at least partly within the lateral boundaries of the respective guide rails (6).
