ABSTRACT:
Sliding and lifting roof for vehicles, having a rigid cover which in its closed position covers a roof opening in a fixed roof surface. The cover is mounted on guide rails extending in a direction parallel to the side edges of the roof opening, and can be selectively tilted so as to lift its rear edge above the fixed roof surface, or rearwardly slidably displaced below the fixed roof surface, after lowering of its rear end below the fixed roof surface. A vertically adjustable rain gutter is provided which is elevated when the cover is in its tilted and close positions, which rain gutter underlies the rear edge of the roof opening and, upon lowering, can be rearwardly displaced together with the cover. The rain gutter is connected with a tilting device which, when the cover is raised, causes the rain gutter to assume an inclined position such that the forward edge of the rain gutter forms a splashboard which projects upwardly above the rear edge of the roof opening.
