ABSTRACT:
A rigid cover assembly for a vehicle roof opening which includes a cover plate, a reinforcement frame supporting a lower peripheral edge of the cover plate, and a plastic frame surrounding the cover plate and enclosing the reinforcement frame. A sealing strip is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the plastic frame and includes a slot receiving a rib and fixing elements projecting from an outer edge of the plastic frame. A metal gap compensating element is embedded in the sealing strip outward of the plastic frame and is capable of being permanently deformed in a transverse direction. The sealing strip has a section between the metal gap compensating element and the slot and an outer edge section that is substantially more capable of deformation than the section between the metal gap compensating element and the slot.
