ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body member such as a roof of a motor vehicle is provided with an opening surrounded by a frame and a cover panel for opening and closing the body member opening. The cover is guided in guide tracks by front and rear sliding shoes for displacement in a direction parallel to the guide tracks and is mounted for pivotable movement about an axis running at right angles to the displacement direction near a forward edge thereof. The cover is further provided with lifting elements which are connected to the rear sliding shoes, which shoes are drivingly connected to incompressible cables arranged in guide tubes and displaceable by an actuating device that is mounted on the cover panel. According to a preferred embodiment, so as to provide a significantly simpler design that is capable of being manufactured much less expensively, the ends of the above-noted guide tubes are displaceably mounted in or on the rear sliding shoes and are running approximately parallel to the guide tracks.
