ABSTRACT:
A sliding and venting sunroof includes a perforated tape drive system, an overlapping groove panel positioning device and a "one-touch" power sunroof control. The drive system uses a single gear to drive two tapes. The overlapping groove mechanism includes a fixed plate with a groove therein, a slidable plate with a groove therein, and a lift arm with a pin that can simultaneously ride in both grooves. The sunroof control does not allow sunroof closing in the absence of a continuous indication from an operator that the sunroof is to be closed, but allows full opening by instantaneous indication from an operator.
