The wind deflector assembly further comprises a guide rod for the flexible member extending in a transverse direction and movable in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, wherein the flexible member, starting from its second end, successively extends in a first sense along said longitudinal direction towards the guide rod, around said guide rod and in an opposite sense along said longitudinal direction, next passes a stationary guide there for and from there extends towards the frame part.
