ABSTRACT:
A vehicle sunshade roof construction (16) is disclosed as including a transparent roof panel (28) and a sunshade (32) for opening and closing the area below the transparent roof panel. The sunshade (32) includes a plurality of laterally elongated blades (34) connected by a flexible sheet-like shade (38) and utilized in association with a pair of roof mounted guides (40) that support the sunshade for movement between the closed and open positions. In the closed position, the blades (34) are spaced with the shade (38) extending therebetween; and in the open position, the blades (34) are stored in a single vertical stack with the shade (38) folded therebetween at a location that exposes the occupant compartment to the transparent roof panel (28). A front end (32f) of the sunshade includes a handle (41) that is manually grasped to move the sunshade between the closed and open positions. A coupling mechanism (42) of the sunshade includes releasable connections (43) for connecting and disconnecting to and from the blade ends to maintain the blades spaced from each other during movement to and from and while in the closed position as well as permitting the storage in the stacked relationship.
