ABSTRACT:
In an opening roof assembly for an opening in the roof of a vehicle the roof covering is tightened or released by a handle mechanism which is coupled to a flap through a pair of rods. The rods are moved towards and away from each other in response to rotation of the handle mechanism. The free ends of the rods work in inclined slots in downwardly depending flanges on the flap so that relative movement between the rods causes the flap to move angularly with respect to a front cross-member of the roof assembly on which it is pivotally mounted. Rotation of the handle mechanism in a direction to tighten the covering is accompanied by the flap being drawn down into close sealing engagement with the roof around the front of the opening.
