Abstract
A pivotable air deflector for a vehicle roof structure is adapted to removably receive a roof vent panel. The air deflector and roof vent panel pivot together as a unit between a closed position wherein the air deflector and roof vent panel are in substantial registry with the surface of the roof and an open, venting, forward-inclining position. The air deflector is held in the upward, forward-inclining position when the roof vent panel is completely removed from the vehicle to direct air currents away from the roof opening during movement of the vehicle.
