ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a mechanism for moving a panel with respect to a roof of a vehicle between a first position, in which said panel closes an opening provided in the roof of the vehicle, and a second position, in which said panel releases the opening provided in the roof of the vehicle at least for the greater part. The panel is near its sides supported by supports, which are first pivoted obliquely upwards by means of a setting mechanism so as to move the panel from the first position to the second position, and which are then moved to a position above the roof portion located beside the opening. A support is coupled, via a gear transmission which is movable by means of the setting mechanism, to a rack which is capable of movement with respect to the support.
