ABSTRACT:
A closing panel for a roof opening in a vehicle is operated by a slide member moving relative to a stationary track and when the panel is in a forwardly position, a movable support bracket is permitted to move to guide the front of the panel to move between a closed position and a lowered position. When the panel is to be tilted to a ventilation position, the movable bracket is permitted to move forwardly to raise the front edge of the panel slightly to compensate for location of the pivoting point relative to the front edge of the panel. When the panel is moved rearwardly while in its lowered position, a pin on the movable bracket operates in crossing slots between a stationary track and a slidable displacing element to lock the panel against tilting movement. When the panel is in its most forwardly position, the crossing slots permit the tilting movement.
