ABSTRACT:
A slatted sunroof for a motor vehicle has slats that are lifted and spaced apart at intervals from one another when the roof is open, and in particular are pushed against one another so that their spacing is reduced by contrast with their closed position. A roof liner that is deformable extends, at least when the roof is closed, in an area located below the slats. Fasteners are provided that hold the roof liner against the slats at locations that are regularly spaced and produce an orderly pattern when the roof is opened, especially in the displacement direction of the slats. The sunroof is designed in such fashion that undesired folding of the roof liner because of different degrees of thermal expansion of the roof liner and the slats is prevented. This is accomplished by the fasteners each comprising a retaining element on the slat side and a retaining element on the roof liner side, the retaining elements being connected movably with one another, with the retaining elements on the slat side being fastened to the slats and the retaining elements on the roof liner side being fastened to the roof liner.
