ABSTRACT:
In a sliding-lifting roof for an automobile, of which a sliding lid can be actuated, by the engagement of guide pins, mounted on rear, driven sliding shoes, in guide blocks fixed to the sliding lid, the sliding lid is covered below by a liner, connected with it for common displacement, which liner is formed of a non-pivotal lower part and a flap component hinged thereto. The flap component is, in lifting movements and pivoting-in movements of the sliding lid, pivoted correspondingly, but in the starting phase of the lifting movement with lead compared with the sliding lid, as a result of control ramps fitted to the liner lower part and of lifting levers, pivotally connected to the rear sliding shoes and co-operating with the ramps. As a result, when only a small lifting angle of the sliding lid takes place, a sufficiently wide ventilation gap is obtained between the liner lower part and the liner flap.
