ABSTRACT:
Vehicle roof, particularly for passenger vehicles, connected to whose roof there are side panels forming roof struts. The connection areas between the roof panel and side panels are downwardly offset and are respectively covered by a molded strip. The roof has a roof opening which extends approximately up to the connecting areas. A tiltable cover which can be moved rearwardly is provided for selectively closing and at least partially uncovering of the roof opening. The outer edge of the cover in its closed position is pressed against a cover gasket from above. The gasket at the side of the roof opening, at least supplements the respective molding strip by replacing the molding strips in the area of the roof opening, or by extending along the side of the molding strip facing the roof opening, or by forming a portion of the molding strip itself.
