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 the lifting motion of the sunroof and is provided at this end with a stepped bearing sleeve. A spring mechanism is arranged between the bearing sleeve and the lever, pressing a ring collar of the stepped bearing sleeve against an edge bordering the control path, thereby minimizing noise, particularly when the sunroof is closed.
