Vehicle roof with a roof opening that can be closed by a sliding cover, a framework surrounding the roof opening at least at the front and on the sides that forms a framed opening underneath the roof opening and a water channel that is defined by a protuberance in the framework, and with a wind deflector running parallel to the front edge of the roof opening. The wind deflector is held by at least one hinge located on the protuberance in the framework and can be swung out by spring power when the cover is pushed back and swung in when the cover is closed. The wind deflector, over substantially its full length, has an element with a first arm that is inclined upward and forward at an oblique angle in the swung-out position and a second arm that is angled down from its front end. The shaft of the hinge is located close to the rear end of the first arm. A part fastened permanently to the cover comes up against the top of the first arm of the wind deflector to swing the wind deflector. A portion of the deflector that is located where the first and second arms meet and that projects above the first arm and is shaped for producing a favorable air flow over the wind deflector. A shackle is attached via a notch-mount bearing eye to the wind deflector and is engaged on a forwardly directed projection of a bearing block of the hinge.
