Abstract
A convertible has a stationary rollover bar on which a wind deflecting device can be fixed. In order to ensure, on the one hand, a good operation of the rollover bar and the wind deflecting device and, on the other hand, to not negatively influence the stylistic overall appearance of an open vehicle as a result of the rollover bar and the wind deflecting device, it is provided that the rollover bar comprises a tube section which extends approximately at the level of the belt line and in the transverse direction of the vehicle, bar sections which project upwards in laterally exterior areas leading away from the tube section. The wind deflecting device is composed of a center part and two lateral parts, the lateral part being inserted into the openings of the bar sections and the center part being inserted into the cutout of the rollover bar bounded by the bar sections and the transversely extending tube section.
