ABSTRACT:
In a slidable-upwardly pivoting roof panel, to increase operational reliability of the actuating mechanism and to reduce wear on the individual parts, it is proposed that a slotted guide link on the panel underside towards the end of its downward movement act upon a detent lever pivotally mounted to a front sliding shoe so as to cause unlatching of the same, and that there be provided on the guide link a hold-down member which engages into a guide track during downward movement of the guide link. This arrangement will also accomplish that horizontal displacement of the closure panel via a pin engaging the slotted guide link is effected directly at a driven rear sliding shoe not only for the opening movement but also for the closing movement of the closure panel.
