ABSTRACT:
A sliding roof panel arrangement for opening and closing an opening in the roof of a motor vehicle is provided with a crash protection construction for preventing the unintentional closing of an open sliding cover due to the influence of high inertial forces as occur from strong deceleration during a collision. In accordance with a first embodiment, a flyweight is pivotally connected to the sliding cover and is arranged so as to engage a notched bar mounted on a fixed roof portion under the influence of said high inertial forces. According to a modified embodiment, a safety belt arrangement is secured to the sliding cover at one end and is wound upon an automatic blocking roll-up mechanism secured to a fixed roof portion at its other end.
