It was set up in

Conventionally, when the vehicle is driven with the ceiling window open, the wind deflection plate is tilted backwards and protrudes upward to provide ventilation, etc.; on the other hand, when the vehicle is driven with the ceiling window closed, In order to reduce air resistance when the vehicle is running, the wind deflection plate is configured to be rotated and stored inward of the window opening, and the wind deflection plate is rotated up and down to prevent it from moving outside or inward of the window opening. It was linked to the back and forth sliding of the When storing the wind deflection board, the wind deflection board is first rotated and brought down to a certain height, the front end of the lid passes over the wind deflection board in this state, and then the front end of the trim The section was constructed so that it entered below the wind deflector. Therefore, a space is required between the wind deflector and the front end of the lid or trim to avoid contact with each other, and the front end of the ceiling window, which is the storage space for the wind deflector, has a relatively large thickness. However, the interior space of the vehicle was narrowed.

Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention is designed to reduce the thickness of the wind baffle board storage space, and its feature is that the window opening on the vehicle roof can be opened and closed by sliding. A wind deflection plate is provided at the front edge of the window opening so as to be rotatable around a horizontal axis, and an interlocking arm pivotally connected to the rotating part of the wind deflection plate and In the case where the wind deflecting plate can be freely moved in and out of the window opening through sliding engagement with the provided engaging body, the wind deflecting plate is interlocked with the engaging portion of the interlocking arm that engages with the engaging body or with the wind deflecting plate. When the front end of the lid of the window cover passes above the wind deflection plate, the tip of the rotating part of the wind deflection plate is in a downward position, and the front end of the trim of the window cover is placed in a pivoting connection with the arm so that the front end of the trim of the window cover passes above the wind deflection plate.
