ABSTRACT:
Vehicle roof with cover strips for closing or exposing of a roof opening, the strips bordering one another in the closed position and forming a planar integrated system of strips, each cover strip having a respective pivoting attachment element which is guided along a guideway attached to the roof, adjacent attachment elements being coupled for joint movement in the opening and closing direction, as long as they are not fully swung out, and being decoupled as soon as one of the two has reached its fully swung-out position. In the decoupled state, the adjacent attachment elements engage one another so that they can be moved against one another while the not yet fully swung-out attachment element is being swung out. The rearmost cover strip engages a guide element, such that it can be moved relative to it along a fixed path. The guide element is attached securely to the roof and the adjustment path of the rearmost cover strip relative to the guide element is made such that this strip can be automatically displaced by an adjustment movement relative to the guide element fixed on the roof, between the closed position and a swung-out position.
