ABSTRACT:
A control device for controlling the operation of an openable roof of a wheeled motor vehicle. The device comprises three slide mechanisms arranged on mutually spaced portions of the body of the vehicle, each slide mechanism including a carrier device which carries thereon the openable roof for moving the openable roof between a full close position and a full open position; three electric actuators which are respectively connected to the three slide mechanisms for moving, when electrically energized, the carrier devices between positions corresponding to the full closed position of the openable roof and the other positions corresponding to the full open position of the openable roof. Latch assemblies are provided for latching at least two of the carrier devices relative to the vehicle body when the openable roof comes to one of the full close and full open positions. The operation of three electric actuators are controlled to function together to open and close the openable roof.
