ABSTRACT:
An electrically operated "hatch" roof assembly for mounting in automobiles includes a pair of opposed "hatch" glass panels. The panels move between a closed position, which is flush with the roof of the vehicle and an open or retracted position, wherein the panels nest beneath one another centrally of the roof. A roof support section has a pair of opposed tracks in which are slidably mounted the panels. The panels, when inboard, nest beneath the support section. Electrically powered lifter mechanisms transport the hatch roof panels between the inboard and outboard positions.
