1. A wind deflector assembly adapted to be mounted to a sunroof frame of a vehicle, wherein the wind deflector assembly comprises:
a support arm configured to be rotatable at least relative to a transverse direction of the sunroof frame; a torsion spring mounting seat adapted to be secured to the sunroof frame, the torsion spring mounting seat comprising a limiting shaft and a limiting boss adjacent to the limiting shaft; and
a torsion spring comprising a helical portion, and a short torsion arm and a long torsion arm which are respectively arranged at two ends of the helical portion, the helical portion being adapted to be fitted over the limiting shaft,
the short torsion arm being adapted to be attached to the limiting boss to limit a displacement of the helical portion in a vertical direction of the sunroof frame by means of the limiting boss, and
the long torsion arm being adapted to be attached to the support arm,
wherein the end of the short torsion arm away from the helical portion is provided with a first bent portion which is adapted to be attached to a first end of the limiting boss away from the limiting shaft, and a second end of the limiting boss close to the limiting shaft is provided with a stop portion so as to limit the helical portion of the torsion spring.
