ABSTRACT:
A roof liner having a flexible lining material which extends both longitudinally and transversely across the vehicle. To enable the roof liner to be a sliding, folding liner, a plurality of bows extend across the lining material at spaced intervals from the front to the rear, uniformly spaced distances. Guide elements engage alternate pairs of bows providing a tension panel between the two bows engaged by the guide element and an untensioned panel between two guide elements. A respective guide rail at the side of the roof receives each of the guide elements for sliding therealong. The respective guide element receiving rails are stacked one above the other and parallel, enabling each guide to move over the full longitudinal length of its path.
