  • Publication number: 20050269841
    Abstract: A wind deflector for use in a vehicle sunroof is formed of a resilient member that moves between a relaxed position and a compressed position. The resilient member is formed as one-piece of spring steel, and extends upwardly in front of an opening in a vehicle roof when in the relaxed position to deflect wind. As a vehicle sunroof panel moves to a closed position, the vehicle sunroof panel contacts and compresses the resilient member to a concealed position. The wind deflector thus provides a simplified construction when compared to the prior art.
