A vehicle comprising: an occupant cabin; a retractable roof configured to move between a deployed configuration where the roof covers the occupant cabin and a retracted configuration; a housing configured to house the retractable roof when the roof is in the retracted configuration; and a moveable cover configured to close the housing, the moveable cover comprising: a cover body; and two fins each extending from the cover body, the fins being located on either side of a longitudinal centreline of the vehicle, and the fins each comprising a channel running through the fin from a first side of the fin facing away from the longitudinal centreline to a second side of the fin facing towards the longitudinal centreline.

A wind-deflecting baffle attachment has a planar main body, at least one baffle, and at least one mounting member. Each baffle is angularly connected to the main body, and the at least one baffle includes at least one central baffle centrally positioned on the main body. The at least one mounting member is connected to the main body and is configured to attach the main body atop an open-air vehicle frame in order to deflect incoming wind away from the occupants of the vehicle.

An automobile wind directing accessory device that is attachable to a sunroof or door window opening of an automobile and has a panel or windshield, support track secured to a rear surface of the windshield, a support bracket assembly rotatably connected to the windshield and at least one adjustable clamp having a first leg slidably connected to the support arm to enable the clamp to be adjusted inward or outward inside the sunroof opening to dictate the point where the windshield directs wind flow into the cabin of a vehicle and a second leg pivotally connected to the first leg by a spring device that maintains tips of the first leg and second leg in engagement with a vehicle in a normally closed position to secure the wind directing device in a vehicle opening and that are separated and opened when the first leg and second leg of the clamp are squeezed toward each other. The automobile wind directing accessory device is adapted for attached to a vehicle inside a window wherein the clamped is affixed to the support bracket in alignment with the rear surface of the wind shield.

In a motor vehicle having an opening 1 through an upper or lateral side of the vehicle cabin, a return portion 40c extending toward the inside of the vehicle cabin and the front of the vehicle from a region spaced rearward from the rear edge of the opening 1 is formed to return travel wind toward the front of the vehicle.

A motor vehicle seat includes a backrest portion, a first body, a second body and a mechanism configured to coupled the backrest portion to the first body in a movable manner between a first position, in which the backrest portion is arranged between the first and the second body, the latter defining a base extending crosswise to the backrest portion in order to support a passenger seating with the back resting against the backrest portion on a first surface of the backrest portion, and a second position, in which the backrest portion has a second surface opposite the first surface and facing the second body; wherein the first surface, in the second position of the backrest portion, defines a wind deflector.

A wind guiding device for an open-top passenger vehicle is disclosed. The wind guiding device has an inherently stiff, slat-shaped wind guiding element that can be adjusted between a retracted position and at least one wind guiding position relative to a windscreen frame. Several disruptive bodies are arranged on the underside of the wind guiding element.

The invention relates to a method for determining the position of an actuating element (3) in a positioning system (1), having the following steps: continuously detecting a signal profile of a sensor signal from an acceleration sensor (7) which is fitted to an electric-motor actuating drive (5) of the positioning system (1), in order to detect an acceleration on account of a force excitation by a detent torque and/or an imbalance of a rotor of the electric-motor actuating drive; evaluating the signal profile in order to detect an oscillation; determining the position of the actuating element (3) on the basis of the detection of the oscillation.

A vehicle includes a header extending laterally between A-pillars, and a soft top, including a movable frame defining a roof of the vehicle and having a header bow that is selectively securable to the header, the frame movable between a forward closed position and a rearward retracted position. A wind deflector is mounted to the frame adjacent to the header bow and movable with the frame between the closed position and the retracted position, with the wind deflector positioned in front of the header bow when not in the closed position.

A vehicle rear structure includes a rear roof having: a pair of side wall portions located on an outer side in a vehicle width direction with respect to a pair of seats, and extending rearward of the seats; and a rear window for closing a window opening formed between the paired side wall portions. An upward standing deflection plate is provided between the paired seats and on a rear side of the seats. The deflection plate integrally includes a pair of outer air receiving portions away from each other in the vehicle width direction, and a middle air receiving portion connecting the outer air receiving portions in the vehicle width direction, and is made of a material having transparency. A length of the middle air receiving portion in an up-down direction is set shorter than a length of the outer air receiving portion in the up-down direction.
