Abstract: A wind deflector has a bearing base and a shiftable body that is shiftable relative to the bearing base between a first, extended position, in which the body is spaced apart from the bearing base and a second, placed-on position, in which the body is placed onto the bearing base. Two spaced apart links extend between the body and the bearing base. Each link has one end articulated to the body and a second end articulated to the bearing base. A push-push lock is provided for fixing at least one of the link and the body in the placed-on position of the body.

Abstract: A roof construction of a motor vehicle has a fixed roll bar, and a roof element which, in the closed position, is accommodated between the roll bar and a windshield and, in the open position, is accommodated behind the roll bar in a convertible-top compartment. The roof element can be shifted from the open position into the closed position and vice versa beyond the roll bar via an opening and closing mechanism. With the roof element in the closed position, the mechanism penetrates lateral offsets of the roll bar and, in the open position, opens up the lateral offsets. The lateral offsets of the roll bar are each assigned, on the front side of the roll bar, a covering which, in the closed position of the roof element, opens up the lateral offset for the passage of the mechanism and which, in the open position, covers the lateral offsets.

The roof constructing further has a covering which covers the roll bar on the outside in the open position of the roof element and in the closed position of the roof element. Vertical extending side parts of the covering can be shifted relative to the roll bar during the shifting of the roof element. A transverse part of the covering extends substantially in a horizontal direction and is fastened to the roll bar so as not to be able to be shifted relative thereto.

Abstract: A motor vehicle (1) has a wind deflector (13) adjacent an upper cowl (8), a roof arrangement (10) behind the wind deflector (13) and an air-guiding device (16) behind the roof arrangement (10). The wind deflector (13) is extended into a first operative position (WS1) and the rear air-guiding device (16) is transferred into first lifting position (HS1) if the roof arrangement (10) is open and if the driving speed (VF) of the motor vehicle (1) is below a predetermined first value (V1). The wind deflector (13) is transferred into a second operative position (WS2) and the rear air-guiding device (16) is transferred into a second lifting position (HS2) above the first lifting position (HS1) if the roof arrangement (10) is open and if the driving speed (VF) is above a predetermined, second value (V2).

Abstract: A motor vehicle with a roof arrangement and a spoiler lying behind the roof arrangement, whereby the roof arrangement has at least one movable roof element, which is adjustable between a closed position and an open position. The roof element is automatically adjustable in the direction of the closed position starting from its open position for achieving a defined, presettable aerodynamic effect at the spoiler.

Abstract: A motor vehicle with a roof arrangement and a spoiler means lying behind the roof arrangement, whereby the roof arrangement has at least one movable roof element, which is adjustable between a closed position and an open position. The roof element is designed as automatically adjustable in the direction of the closed position starting from its open position for achieving a defined, presettable aerodynamic effect at the spoiler means.

Abstract: A vehicle roof contains a first movable roof part, a guide device for displacing the first roof part relative to a second roof part for optionally at least partially opening and closing a roof opening. The guide device contains first and second lateral guide rails of a lateral guide and at least one third guide rail of a central guide, in which the first roof part is guided with front and rear slide bearings adjacent to its front and rear edges. In order to be able to increase further the comfort in a motor vehicle, it is provided that the front slide bearings are guided in the first and second guide rails of the lateral guide and the rear slide bearing is guided in the central guide.

Abstract: A folding top clamp for a vehicle has a connecting-link-controlled locking hook which can be displaced by guiding devices from a closed position to an open position. The locking hook interacts with at least one hook guide which is in an operative connection with a motor gearing unit. A folding top clamp having a simple structure and a compact construction is provided in that the motor gearing unit extends only on a longitudinal side of the locking hook and has an electric motor oriented transversely with respect to a longitudinal center plane of the vehicle, which electric motor interacts by way of a triple-geared-down gearing unit with a hook guide of the locking hook.

Abstract: A removable roof is provided for a passenger car of the sports car type, between a windshield frame and a rollover bar system, which roof is made of a plastic material and includes an exterior wall as well as an interior wall. In order to create a highly stressable, light-weight and space-saving roof, the exterior wall as well as the interior wall are made of a high-strength plastic material and form a rigid member connection, the exterior wall and the interior wall meeting essentially only at edge zones.

Abstract: An air guiding device for a vehicle sliding roof is arranged on a draft deflector and comprises essentially a holding section as well as an adjoining wing which protrudes to the outside in an operative position and is bent in an inoperative position. The holding section of the air guiding element is clampingly held in a transverse slot of the draft deflector.

Abstract: A passenger vehicle a folding top can be changed from a closed position spanning a passenger compartment into a storage position. The folding top includes a folding top frame structure and a folding top cover which is held in place on the folding top frame structure, and a rigid rear window. The folding top frame structure has at least one rear, U-shaped tensioning bar which in the closed position of the folding top can be displaced into a substantially horizontal tensioned position and into an upward folded, for example upright, mounted position and which on its free bar ends is seated in a swivel axis that runs roughly parallel to the vehicle's transverse axis. For improved accessibility of the storage compartment each leg of the U-shaped tensioning bar is connected with the swivel axis by means of a detachable connecting device.
