ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an open roof construction for a vehicle having a roof opening in its fixed roof, comprising stationary guide rails (1, 5) on either side of the roof opening. Slides (2) are guided rails for movably supporting a closure element of the open roof construction. A cover plate (3) defines the rear side of the roof opening that can be closed by the closure element and provides a seal against the fixed roof. The slides (2) and the cover plate (3) of the open roof construction are interlocked to form one unit in an entirely open position thereof, after which they can be moved further as a unit. The cover plate (3) is mounted on cover plate slides (9) capable of sliding movement in said guide rails (1, 5), which each comprise a height adjusting mechanism (11, 13) to be actuated by an adjacent rear slide (2) of the closure element, which functions to move the cover plate (3) upwards before further movement of the aforesaid unit is possible.
