ABSTRACT:
A sliding automobile roof cover characterized by a shallow construction having a rigid cover member which seals an opening in the roof of a vehicle body when in its closed position with the cover member being selectively slidable into an open position uncovering the roof opening or merely into a tilted ventilating position. The sliding cover member is supported by sliding blocks and support arms in guide rails which are subdivided into two guide rail sections movable relative to the plane of the automobile roof substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cover member. Independently of a separation of the dividing lines of the guide rails or merely of the resilient design of single-piece continuous guide rails, an independently actuatable raising and lowering device operates to effect shifting of the position of the guide rail sections relative to the plane of the vehicle roof. The raising and lowering device includes guide links or screw jack drives and particularly, in the case of a single-piece resilient design of the guide rails, two raising and lowering devices are actuated collectively and simultaneously and are arranged on both sides of the rear edge of the roof opening.
