ABSTRACT:
An open roof construction for a vehicle having an opening (2) in the fixed roof (1) comprises a frame (3) and an outer panel (4) adjustably supported by the frame. The outer panel is movable by means of a driving slide (11) at least between a closed position in which it closes the opening (2) in the fixed roof (1) and a backwardly and upwardly inclined venting position in which it releases a venting opening. An inner panel (5) is slidably provided under the outer panel (4) and is slidably between a front position in which a passage (6) in the frame (3) is closed, and a backwardly slid position in which the passage (6) in front of the front edge of the inner panel (5) is released. A displacement mechanism for the inner panel (5) is adapted to slide the inner panel (5a distance backwardly when the outer panel (4) is moved from the closed position to the venting position. The displacement mechanism is provided with a reversing element (13) converting a forward displacemnet of the driving slide (11) into a backward movement of the inner panel (5). The reversing element (13) comprises a flexible elongated reversing element being turned substantially 180.degree. on one side of the passage (6) in the frame (3).
