ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a sunroof (1) for motor vehicles with a cover frame (3). This cover frame is formed by a first frame (5) and a second frame (6) and with a cover (4), which can be opened and closed. The cover frame (3) can be fixed in position by clamping of the roof skin (2) in the region of the opening edge (2') between the first and second frame at the vehicle top. The clamping mechanism allows the maintenance of the required clamping forces between the first and the second frame. Openings (8, 8', 8") can be distributed around the circumference of the first frame. The second frame carries levers (9) which can be slid through the openings of the first frame and can be tilted, in the mounted state, into a bolting position. The lever (9) can have a rest state at the first frame upon tilting in a bolting position and the lever (9) exerts the required clamping forces between the first and the second frame. A gripping piece (10) can be provided with a longer lever arm than the corresponding length of the lever (9) for tilting the lever (9).
