ABSTRACT:
A roof structure of a motor vehicle is described in which on the side lateral roof members of a shell from the vehicle manufacturer dimensionally defined master mounting points are located, on which a modular roof insert which is completely premounted by the supplier can be installed over uniformly spaced attachment points on roof strips which run lengthwise. Regardless of the superstructure of the roof insert which is extremely variable based on the use of different roof parts, by combining the roof parts on the roof strips provided with the attachment points at the supplier's, assembly at the vehicle manufacturer always takes place at the same master mounting points. In this way high flexibility of the roof superstructure is achieved with significant simplification in the logistical supply chain and in assembly at the vehicle manufacture.
