ABSTRACT:
An improved arrangement for accommodating movement of a manual crank member for a sliding and tilting roof is provided. The crank member is drivingly connected to a shaft, which shaft is connected by a lost motion connection with a driving plate, which driving plate in turn includes a stop member engageable with a stop member on a driving gear connected for movement with the vehicle roof member. The lost motion connection between the shaft and the plate member corresponds to the angular rotation equivalent to the sum of the circumferential length of the stop members at the plate and the driven gear, so that the crank member can be freely returned to a single predetermined rotative position where it can be moved into a roof recess or the like to be concealed, irrespective of the position of the roof member.
