ABSTRACT:
A spoiler roof for a vehicle having an opening (2) in the fixed roof (1) comprises an adjustable panel (3) and an adjusting mechanism (4) for it. This comprises a transverse pivot shaft (23) pivotally supporting the panel on its front side, and a set-out lever (10) provided at a distance behind this pivot shaft. A catching device (21, 22) positioned backwardly of the set-out lever between the panel and the stationary guide rail (5) may be operatively connected to a drive means (7, 8) for pivoting the panel in the first and last pivoting part from and to the closed position, respectively. The set-out lever comprises a forcing guide (31, 32) which is operative between the set-out lever and the stationary guide rail during at least a part of the pivoting movement of the panel when the catching device is inoperative.
