ABSTRACT:
Sliding and lifting roof for vehicles having a rigid cover, which in a closed position closes a roof opening in a fixed roof surface, and therefrom, can be selectively tilted upwardly so as to raise its rear edge above the fixed roof surface, or lowered and displaced below the fixed roof surface. A frame encircling at least part of the roof opening forms a rain gutter extending below both sides of the roof opening. Strip-shaped shield elements are attached at both sides of the cover, essentially perpendicular to the cover surface, and substantially flush with its lateral edges. The shield elements are flexible, at least in the area of their lower edges, and are fixedly connected with the cover along their upper edges. In the raised position of the cover, at least a major extent of the length of the shield elements will bear laterally against the lateral edges of the roof opening.
