ABSTRACT:
A flexible fabric sunroof retracts by means of cable driven guide shoes driving a front header to the open position and thereby moving odd numbered position bows 3 and 5 along horizontal side tracks within the roof. Even numbered position bows 2, 4 and 6 are biased upwardly to lift the slack fabric above the roof plane during retraction. The fabric sunroof may be totally removed from the roof structure to provide for the largest possible roof opening by removal of a rear header attached to the rear roof frame and detachment of the front header from the guide shoes. A wind deflector is provided which is concealed within sunroof when in the closed position.
