ABSTRACT:
A forward sunroof panel is first tilted front down to its open position and then a rearward sunroof panel is lowered back down and slid along and under a roof panel to its open position in regular sequence by shifting only a single wire driven by a motor. When the two sunroof panels are required to be closed, the wire is shifted in the reverse direction to first slide out the rearward panel from under the roof panel, then to raise it and finally to tilt the forward panel to its closed position. The apparatus comprises, in particular, a forward panel tilting mechanism including a latch and a detent lever and a rearward panel sliding mechanism including a pair of link arms and a set of three telescope brackets.
