ABSTRACT:
A sunroof for a car includes a glass top hingedly interfitting with a frame. The frame includes a channel which is gasketed and overlain by the glass top. The glass top is controlled by a clip having a rocker arm lockable both open and closed. The rocker arm is spring biased for easy installation and removal of the glass top. The channel, having gaskets around both its walls, prevents moisture from seeping in when closed. The top interacts with the outer gasket to prevent rain seeping in and air rushing in while open. A drain in the channel draws off water which enters the channel normally. The configuration of the clips avoids dangerous protrusions.
