ABSTRACT:
A frame and trim ring for a removable sunroof panel is disclosed. The frame is of one piece construction and is configured to cooperate with forward edge releasing bayonets which support the forward edge of the removable panel and a rear edge support for the panel comprising a two piece releasable latch assembly. The two-part rear edge fastener moves the rear edge of the panel from its closed position where it is sealed to the frame to a vented position wherein the rear edge of the panel is positioned above the frame to create an opening. A pivoting link in the two-part fastener is separated from a releasable latch attached to the frame to separate the rear edge of the panel from the frame. When the pivoting link has been released and the bayonets at the forward edge of the panel are released, the panel can be removed from the vehicle.
