ABSTRACT:
An opening roof assembly for a motor vehicle comprises a rigid panel adapted to close an opening in a vehicle roof, respective guide tracks arranged to be secured to the vehicle roof on each side of the opening below the level of the vehicle roof, and respective support assembly for each side of the panel. Each support assembly comprises a first support member having thereon a cam surface of arcuate shape with its concave side upwards and its front end lower than its rear end, a second support member having a cam follower retained in engagement with the cam surface, one of the support members being slidably mounted on the corresponding guide track and the other support member being secured to the underside of the panel. Relative movement between the two support members thus causes the first support member to pivot relative to the second support member to raise the rear edge of the panel.
