Abstract:
A removable roof assembly including a wind deflector structure of a size and shape to be mounted with respect to a passenger vehicle roof opening when a removable roof structure of the assembly is in its removed condition in an operative position extending above and along the forward end of the vehicle roof opening and above and rearwardly along the sides thereof such that the removable roof structure cannot be fully seated. A first mechanism is provided for retaining the wind deflector structure in its operative position and for enabling the wind deflector structure to be moved out of its operative position in response to a manual movement of the removable roof. The wind deflector is mounted to the vehicle roof by a system of at least three links defining four distinct pivot axes.
