ABSTRACT:
Vehicle roof having a cover which, in a closed position, covers a roof opening in a fixed roof surface, and which can be extended above a fixed roof surface by pivotal movement about a pivotal axis which extends between its lateral edges. Below the cover, a cover liner is provided which, during upward extension of the cover, is bent about a center axis which is parallel to the pivotal axis of the cover. The liner, in a transversely extending center area, is provided with at least one cutout that extends transversely across a main portion of the liner and which reaches downwardly from the upper side of the liner, through a portion of the thickness of the liner sufficient to create a flexible hinge-like portion, thus permitting the liner to bend when the cover is extended. When the liner is in its unbent condition, the cutout has a cross-sectional shape that widens upwardly.
