ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a simple manufacturing process for a rigid cover for a vehicle roof with a peripheral seal along the roof opening, comprised of a glass panel, which is connected with the base frame at the rim area with an underlying and protruding seal, and to which is fastened a peripheral aluminum frame which exhibits a gap seal feature on the exterior side, which is characterized by the glass panel 2 (comprised of two connected panes 6 and 7, the lower 7 of which is larger and protrudes sidewards beyond the upper pane 6), which is enclosed with a gap between the base frame 10 with its vertically protruding rim 11 and the lower pane 7. Furthermore, the approximately T-shaped aluminum frame 12 with one side covers the lower glass panel 7, and the other side features an undercut groove 17 for incorporation of the tongue-shaped base 24 of the gap seal 3, through which the space between the protruding rim 11 of the base frame 10, the edges 8 of the cover panes 6 and 7, and the T-shaped aluminum frame 12 can be injected with a polyurethane material.
