A sunshade assembly includes a sunscreen having opposed longitudinal edges which are provided with guide strips which are substantially rigid in transverse direction. Opposed longitudinal guiderails each include a guide channel section defining a guide channel in which the respective guide strip is accommodated when the sunscreen is moved between open and closed positions. The guide channel of each guide rail is bound on the side facing the opposite guiderail by a guide flange supporting the lower side of the sunscreen. A part of the guide channel supports the guide strip on its side remote from the sunscreen. A biasing member acts between at least one of the guide strips and the corresponding guide channel section to bias the guide strip at least on its edge adjacent the sunscreen in a direction away from the guide flange.

A wind deflector is described for use at the leading end of a roof opening in the roof of a vehicle, which wind deflector is movable between a retracted position in which it substantially is positioned in a recess below the level of the upper surface of the roof and an extended position in which it at least partially extends above said level, and which wind deflector comprises a movable upper frame part, a lower frame part and a mesh material having an upper edge region attached to the upper frame part and a lower edge region attached to the lower frame part. The lower frame part together with the lower edge region of the mesh material is movable between a retracted position below said level and an extended position above said level.
