ABSTRACT:
In a rigid lid for an automobile roof which, in its closed position, sealingly closes a roof opening out of which it can be displaced to at least partly expose it, a translucent or transparent lid plate is carried by an inner frame placed beneath it in its edge region, which inner frame projects beyond the edge of the lid plate and terminates there in a raised rim, onto which an edge gap sealing strip is pushed. For achieving a low overall depth of the lid accompanied by simple assembly and dismantling, a clamping bar is fixed to the inner frame, with which clamping bar an upper border frame is releasably engaged, which border frame securely holds, on the one hand the sealing strip in a manner preventing stripping-off and on the other hand the lid plate with respect to the inner frame. A further simplification of dismantling is achieved, according to a second form of embodiment, in that the inner frame is connected to the upper edge frame releasably by fixing screws.
