Abstract
A mechanism for a wind deflector of a motor vehicle roof is provided which includes a raising lever which is moved in a raising direction by means of a spring. A displacement of a back edge of the wind deflector in a lengthwise direction is balanced during the swiveling motion by means of a compensation device. A spring is used directly as the compensation device.

A mechanism for a wind deflector of a motor vehicle roof, wherein the wind deflector is capable of a pivoting motion and includes a back edge, comprising:
- a raising lever;
- a first spring for swinging the raising lever in a raising direction after an initial swinging in the raising direction;
- a compensation device for balancing the displacement of the back edge of the wind deflector in a lengthwise direction during the pivoting motion of the wind deflector, the compensation device including the first spring acting on a back end of the raising lever, said first spring becoming active for swinging the raisin lever in a raisin direction only after the initial swinging of the raising lever at the start of a raising motion;
- and
- a second spring acting on said raising lever for initially swinging the raising lever upwardly at the start of a raising motion.
