An automotive vehicle includes a body having an occupant compartment. The vehicle additionally includes a windshield frame coupled to the body and disposed at a fore portion of the occupant compartment. The windshield frame has an upper periphery. The vehicle also includes a roof disposed to selectively cover the occupant compartment. The roof has an extended position in which the roof covers the occupant compartment and a retracted position in which the roof does not cover the occupant compartment. The vehicle further includes an airfoil coupled to the windshield frame by a linkage. The linkage has a stowed position and a deployed position. In the deployed position the airfoil projects above the upper periphery of the windshield frame with a gap therebetween. In the stowed position the airfoil does not project above the upper periphery of the windshield.
