Abstract
A wind deflector for sliding roofs of motor vehicles is mountable near the forward edge of a roof opening so as to be swivelable near its forward edge about an axis which runs at right angles to the lengthwise axis of the vehicle and is formed of a sheet metal strip and an overlying plastic strip that is connected thereto. The plastic strip can be connected with the sheet metal strip by either bonding, (e.g., adhesive or ultrasonic welding) shrink-fitting, clips, or the like. According to a preferred embodiment, the plastic strip is formed with internal chambers and is mounted in association with a metal strip so as to present a surface of the plastic strip that is at approximately the same height as an adjacent surface of the metal strip.
