ABSTRACT:
A frame for a vehicle sun roof intended for a vehicle having a hard head liner comprises an outer upper frame section adapted to fit into an aperture in a vehicle roof and to engage said roof around the edge of said aperture, an inner frame section adapted to be located below the vehicle roof and to be secured to the outer frame section and a support member adapted to be fitted to the inner frame section and to engage the underside of the vehicle roof around the edge of the aperture. The support member is made of resilient material and is provided with a lip which is adapted to engage a hard head liner of the vehicle roof around the edge of an aperture formed therein to accommodate the frame in order to conceal the aperture in the head liner from view and to provide a support for the head liner. A strip of trimming fabric may be provided to cover the support member and inner frame section, the trimming fabric being held between the lip formed on the support member and the hard head liner along one edge and the opposite edge being held in place by a trimming strip of resilient material which is inserted into a gap formed between the outer and inner frame sections.
