Roof assembly for a roof of a vehicle, and method of moving a closure panel and wind deflector of a roof assembly

摘要

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