Abstract
A vehicle roof closure assembly is movable between open and closed positions. A wind deflector is biased to an extended position at which it extends vertically upwardly of a forward portion of an aperture. The wind deflector serves to deflect wind away from the cab of a vehicle. However, when the closure member is moved to its closed position, it contacts and forces the wind deflector to a stowed position. The present invention reduces the complexity of wind deflector structures.
