Abstract
An open roof construction for a vehicle having an opening in its roof, the front part of which opening can be closed by a first panel which is pivotable about a substantially horizontal axis at the front edge thereof, while the remaining part of the roof opening can be closed by means of at least one slidable second panel, comprises a wind deflecting arrangement that functions as a wind deflector. Said wind deflection arrangement can be moved rearwards and upwards, using suitable driving means, from a position of rest under the first panel to an operative position substantially above and behind the first panel. The wind deflection apparatus may be pivotable about a horizontal pivot that extends substantially transversely to the vehicle.
