ABSTRACT:
A sliding interior sunroof panel assembly for covering the lower side of a sliding panel of a sliding sunroof construction and for the ventilation of the vehicle interior with a partially, opened or raised sliding panel consists of a rigid interior roof panel (1) and a ventilation strip (4) attached near the front of the panel. The ventilation strip (4) is set into an opening in the interior roof panel (1) with longitudinal play and latched there in a particular manner so that differing coefficients of thermal expansion of the different materials used for the interior roof panel (1) and the ventilation strip (4) cannot lead to undesirable undulation of the ventilation strip (4) with corresponding temperature conditions since stress is regulated at the latch positions by displacement movements between the latch elements (16, 19). The ventilation strip (4) always, therefore, lies flat against the covered (12, 13), lower visible surface of the sliding interior sunroof panel. Mounting of the ventilation strip on the interior roof panel (1) is such that at first the ventilation strip is attached with location spaces (14) to the rear edge (15) of the interior roof panel (1) and then pivoted upwards in its front area until the latching projections (16), resilient above the latched surfaces (19) but lying in contact with these, snap into place.
