ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle roof with movable cover element (13) which can close or selectively at least partially expose a roof opening (12) in a fixed roof surface (11). There is an electrical cable connection between the cover element (13) and the fixed roof surface (11). The cable connection is attached at one point to, cover element (13) and at a different point securely to the roof. The electrical connection is formed of a ribbon cable which is bent in a U shape in its longitudinal direction between the attachment points (21, 27) and is essentially planar in its transverse direction between the attachment points (21 and 27). The ribbon cable (20) peals off of the contact surface (23) provided on cover element (13) and/or the roof contact surface (26) when the cover element (13) is moved and is reapplied in an opposite direction of movement.
