ABSTRACT:
An opening roof for a motor vehicle comprises a frame mounted in an opening in a vehicle roof. A trim member is attached to the bottom of the frame and has an outwardly projecting flap which covers the adjacent edge of the vehicle roof trim. A portion of the frame projects below the vehicle and carries first and second protuberances on side surfaces facing towards and away from the opening respectively. The trim member has first and second side walls which abut against respective side surfaces of the frame. The first side wall has a latching formation shaped to engage with the first protuberance and the second side wall has first and second spaced complementary formations each shaped to engage with the second protuberance whereby a free end of the flap is disposed at a first distance below the top of the frame when the first complementary formation is engaged with the second proturberance and at a second distance below the top of the frame when the second complementary formation is so engaged.
