Abstract: In a motor vehicle equipped with a sliding roof, a wind deflector is provided to avoid disturbing vibrations in the vehicle interior. The wind deflector is movable between a retracted position and an extended, operative position. An additional air guiding element of narrower width than the wind deflector is mounted locally of the wind deflector. The air guiding element is movable between a first position in a depression of the wind deflector and a second operative position in which the air guiding element projects beyond the wind deflector in an upward direction. The air guiding element moves into the second position coincidentally with movement of the wind deflector into the operative position.
