In a wind deflector for installation in a vehicle roof in a front area, comprising a wind deflector body which extends in a direction of extension transversely to a direction of travel, a lifting device, with which the wind deflector body can be moved between a position retracted into the vehicle roof and a position extended out of the vehicle roof and projecting beyond a contour of the upper side of the vehicle roof and thus deflecting wind, wherein the lifting device has at least one lifting unit with a mounting base and a lifting arm which is mounted with a lifting arm bearing for pivoting about a first pivot axis relative to the mounting base and engages on the wind deflector body at an end located opposite the lifting arm bearing, in order to achieve a reliable movability of the wind deflector body with devices which are as mechanically simple as possible it is suggested that an actuating unit which is supported on the mounting base and engages on the lifting arm be provided for moving the lifting arm and that the actuating unit and the lifting arm bearing be displaceable relative to one another in a direction of displacement extending transversely to the first pivot axis of the lifting arm bearing for the purpose of pivoting the lifting arm.
Wind deflector for installation in a vehicle roof in a front area of the vehicle roof, comprising a wind deflector body extending in a direction of extension transversely to a direction of travel, a lifting device for moving the wind deflector body between a position retracted into the vehicle roof and a position extended out of the vehicle roof and projecting beyond a contour of an upper side of the vehicle roof and thus deflecting wind, wherein the lifting device has at least one lifting unit with a mounting base and a lifting arm mounted with a lifting arm bearing for pivoting about a first pivot axis relative to the mounting base, said first pivot axis extending transverse to said direction of extension of said wind deflector, said lifting arm engaging on the wind deflector body at an end located opposite the lifting arm bearing,
Wind deflector for installation in a vehicle roof in a front area of the vehicle roof, comprising a wind deflector body extending in a direction of extension transversely to a direction of travel, a lifting device for moving the wind deflector body between a position retracted into the vehicle roof and a position extended out of the vehicle roof and projecting beyond a contour of an upper side of the vehicle roof and thus deflecting wind, wherein the lifting device has at least one lifting unit with a mounting base and a lifting arm mounted with a lifting arm bearing for pivoting about a first pivot axis relative to the mounting base, said first pivot axis extending transverse to said direction of extension of said wind deflector, said lifting arm engaging on the wind deflector body at an end located opposite the lifting arm bearing, wherein the lifting arm is coupled to the wind deflector body with its end engaging on the wind deflector body by means of a retaining guide and holds said body in the respective positions relative to the mounting base.
