Abstract
A motor vehicle has a roof arrangement which has a sliding cover at least partially opening up and closing a roof opening, and a wind deflector device with a wind deflector blade. By way of a tilt-out lever arrangement the deflector can be displaced into an inoperative and operative position, the tilt-out lever arrangement being disposed with its first end at the vehicle in a first swivelling axis extending approximately parallel to the transverse axis of the vehicle and being connected by its second end with the wind deflector blade. During its displacement from the inoperative position into the operative position and vice-versa, the wind deflector blade is longitudinally displaceable approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, In addition, the wind deflector blade is connected by way of a second swivelling axis extending parallel to the transverse axis of the vehicle with the second end of the tilt-out lever arrangement, and can be restrictedly swivelled about this second swivelling axis by a control path. This arrangement reduces the space requirement of the wind deflector device in the inoperative position.
