ABSTRACT:
A vehicle roof (1) having a cover (3) which, selectively, can close or at least partially expose a roof opening (2). A liner (6) which is made of a waterproof transparent material is slidably arranged below the cover (3). Contrary to a known design, in which the transparent liner, in combination with an opaque cover, does offer a variety of options regarding light transmission of the entire vehicle roof, the vehicle roof of the present invention provides an additional ventilation possibility, in that the liner (6) has ventilation openings (21) which are designed to prevent water penetration. The ventilation openings, preferably, have rearward facing slots (23) and can selectively be exposed or closed by way of movable parts (24).
