ABSTRACT:
A movable roof panel for vehicles having an opening in the roof is slidable between open and closed positions. A pair of longitudinally extending guide rails having recessed, horizontally disposed guide tracks therein, are connected to a frame assembly surrounding the edges of the roof opening. The guide tracks define a forward, vertically inclined portion and a rearward, substantially horizontal position. Front and rear guide pins extending from brackets connected to the longitudinal edges of the movable roof panel slidably engage the guide tracks to control the movement of the movable roof panel between open, closed and intermediate positions. Alternately, a stationary roof panel is disposed in the roof opening with the movable roof panel. A cross beam separates the stationary and movable roof panels and provides sealing for the movable roof panel when it is in the closed position and, also, cooperates with a latch which is preferably mounted on the rear portion of the movable panel to releasably secure the movable panel in the closed position.
