ABSTRACT:
A device for vertical and horizontal adjustment of a sliding cover for an opening in a vehicle body member such as a sliding roof or the like of a motor vehicle of the type wherein the cover is guided on each side by means of at least one guide shoe along guide tracks disposed on the body member is designed to provide an arrangement which requires extremely little room and extends as little as possible beyond the inner edge of the roof frame surrounding the roof opening, allows precise adjustment of the sliding cover relative to the guide shoe support, both vertically and laterally, and is readily accessible. According to a preferred embodiment, the guide shoe support is provided with an adjusting element that is displaceable crosswise with respect to the lengthwise axis of the vehicle, the element cooperating by sloping surfaces with a sliding cover to provide height adjustment thereof, and the sliding cover being connected with the guide shoe support for lateral adjustment of the cover crosswise to the direction of sliding movement of the sliding cover. The sloping surfaces are provided by two parts of the adjustment element, one of which is mounted on the guide shoe support and which receives sloping tracks of a holder element mounted on the sliding cover.
