ABSTRACT:
A vehicle roof having a cover which, at its front edge, is displaceably guided in lateral guide rails extending below a fixed roof surface, and which is additionally supported at the guide rails by lifting levers. The lifting levers are connected at one end with the corresponding guide rail, and at the other end with the cover, and are both translatable in the vehicle longitudinal direction and pivotable around parallel axes. During the longitudinal movememt, the levers pivot as a result of interaction with a roof-mounted retaining bracket. The cover can be closed, can be lifted above the fixed roof surface into a vent position by a pivoting movement about an axis at or near its front edge, and can be retracted rearwardly over the fixed roof surface. For the longitudinal movement of the cover, and of the pivotal axis, located at one end of the lifting lever, there are provided separate drive components, which are in permanent engagement with the cover, or with one of the lifting lever ends, respectively.
