ABSTRACT:
A sliding and lifting roof for vehicles with a rigid cover that is guided by way of forward and rear guide sleds on guide rails and is tiltable around an axis running transversely to the sliding direction has a locking arrangement for preventing sliding of the cover during tilting thereof. This locking arrangement includes at least one of the guide rails being provided with a recess into which a resiliently pretensed, swivelable locking lever engages except when the cover is fully lowered to its sliding position. The locking lever is articulated to the forward guide sled and is swivelable to a released position by contact with the lowered cover or an adjusting member participating in the lowering movement of the cover. In its released position the locking lever is out of engagement with the respectively guide rail.
