ABSTRACT:
A roof arrangement for a motor vehicle having a roof frame, a sunroof, two lateral guide paths in which the sunroof is movably guided for closing or at least partially releasing a roof opening. Multiple bearing devices are connected to the sunroof, at one end in an articulated connection and at the other end supported in one of the guide paths via a guide element. The bearing devices each have a lever which is attached to both the guide element and the sunroof in a pivot bearing, whereby the pivot bearing on the sunroof end has a bearing axle which protrudes at its one end into a control path. For reliable functioning a sliding element is arranged on the end of the bearing axle which protrudes into the control path, the sliding element having an outside contour such that the sliding element rests against an edge bordering the control path in any movement position of the sliding roof.
