An open roof construction for a vehicle having a roof opening (2) comprises at least a closure member (3) supported by the stationary part (4) and configured to open and close the roof opening. A wind deflector (5) is positioned near the front of the roof opening and is movable between an ineffective position below the fixed roof (1) and an effective position projecting above the fixed roof. The wind deflector includes flexible wind deflecting material (6) attached to an upper elongate element (7). The wind deflecting material is also connected at its lower end to the stationary part. An intermediate element (9) is attached to the material between its upper and lower ends and extends along substantially the width of the wind deflecting material. At least a part of the intermediate element (9) is biased toward a first position and is displaced in a direction toward an edge of the roof opening (3) when the wind deflector (5) moves to the effective position.
