ABSTRACT:
Vehicle roof with at least one cover, which, by means of a lifting and closing mechanism, selectively closes a roof opening, or at least partly opens the same by lifting the rear edge of the cover, or by displacement along a guide rail, and a locking element (28) which locks the cover or a component connected thereto (cover support6) relative to the guide rail (14) in the closed position, or in the lifted position. The locking element (28) is thus arranged on a locking lever (24), arranged on the cover or a component connected thereto so as to pivot essentially in a vertical plane. The locking element (28) is taken out of engagement with a locking recess (14f) on the guide rail (14), by means of a carrier device, at the end of a dropping movement of the cover, preceding the displacement of the cover into an open position.
