A sunshade assembly includes a flexible sunscreen, a rotatable winding shaft for winding and unwinding the sunscreen and two opposed guides for cooperation with two opposed longitudinal edges of the sunscreen. Each guide extends longitudinally in a curved manner in a plane which substantially is perpendicular to the sunscreen and in parallel to the respective longitudinal edge of the sunscreen. Longitudinal edge sections of the sunscreen are less stretchable than the remainder of the sunscreen and are tensioned in the longitudinal direction of the sunscreen.

Sunshade assembly and open roof construction provided therewith

There is disclosed an open roof construction for a vehicle, comprising a roof opening formed in the roof of the vehicle, which can be closed by means of at least one closure element which can be moved forward and backward between an open position and a closed position. A flow-influencing flap is mounted at a location of a part of the open roof construction which co-operates with a front edge of the closure element in the closed position of said closure element. The flap is pivotable about a pivot pin extending substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, between a first position, in which it extends substantially parallel to the local air flow, and a second position, in which it extends at an angle with respect to the local air flow, wherein pivoting of the flap is prevented in the closed position of the closure element, while pivoting of the flap to a second position, under the influence of the local air flow, is possible in the open position of the closure element.
