ABSTRACT:
A sliding roof for a vehicle with a roof opening, comprising a transparent outer panel and an inner panel with a grip. The outer panel may be moved downwardly from its closed position in the roof opening and may be slid backwardly between the fixed roof and the inner roof lining of the vehicle to a wholly or partly opened position and back. Upon opening of the outer panel a carrier means on the outer panel slides the inner panel backwardly and in the wholly opened position of the outer panel the inner panel substantially entirely lies between the inner roof lining and the fixed roof and a hand grip of the inner panel is inaccessible. Upon the forward movement of the outer panel from its substantially rearward wholly opened position, a locking mechanism locks the inner panel in a position in which the handgrip remains inaccessible. In this position the locking mechanism may be uncoupled from a spring loaded displacement mechanism, whereafter the displacement mechanism moves the inner panel automatically to an intermediate position in which the grip of the inner panel can be gripped by hand.
