ABSTRACT:
A sunroof for a roof opening defined by a downward facing roof flange includes a rectangular carrier frame which underlies the roof flange and has a central sunroof opening therein. A glass closure panel is connected to the front of the carrier frame by hinges permitting pivoting of the closure panel to an angularly raised ventilator position. A seal mounted on the carrier frame is adapted for vertically compressed sealing engagement with both the roof flange and the closure panel. A track extends longitudinally along each side of the roof opening. A rear guide block slidable along the track is connected to the carrier frame by a lifter link which is pivoted to the carrier frame and stands vertically upright to hold the carrier frame closed against the roof panel and compress the seal therebetween. The lifter link is connected to the rear guide block by a pin and slot connection which permits the lifter link to remain vertically upright and stationary while the rear guide block is driven further forward. A linkage is pivoted to the rear guide block and connects with a cam block attached to the closure panel so that further forward movement of the guide block after the lifter link stops at the vertical upright position causes the linkage to raise the cam block and accordingly pivot the closure panel to an angularly raised ventilating position. Rearward movement of the guide block from the closed position collapses the lifter link to lower the carrier frame and tow the carrier frame and closure panel rearwardly to a stored position beneath the vehicle roof.
