An open roof construction for a vehicle comprises a movable panel in a fixed roof. A wind deflector assembly comprises a transverse deflector, which extends and retracts, and connects to a deflector arm on each end, the arms of which are pivotally connected to a stationary part. A biasing device engages each of the arms. The panel can push the deflector arms and therewith the deflector against the biasing force towards a retracted position. A valve assembly is pivotally connected to the deflector and comprises a valve body capable of extending above the deflector in an effective position when the deflector is in its extended position to generate turbulences in the air flow above the roof opening under driving conditions of the vehicle. The valve body is capable of being moved to a retracted position at least partly below the deflector when the deflector is moved towards its retracted position.
