ABSTRACT:
Preassembled installation unit for sliding and lifting roofs of motor vehicles of the type wherein a fixed roof surface has a roof opening that is openable and closable by a cover, the opening being surrounded in front and on the sides by a frame, which extends behind the roof opening under the fixed roof surface. The installation unit is provided with track forming side guide rails along which front and rear sliders can move, side cover supports which are connected to the front sliders and, by pivoting elements, to the rear sliders, drive cables that engage the rear sliders and can be brought to engage a drive, and guide channels for the drive cables which, in area of the front edge of the roof opening, are formed by guide pipes and on the sides, by cable channels. The frame is a part of the installation unit. The guide rails are integrated with the tracks and cable channels in the side frame parts. The guide pipes are connected to the front area of the frame. The guide rails and cable channels are covered by cover rails incorporating forward and lateral stops to enable performance testing of the unit without the cover or a dummy cover.
