ABSTRACT:
In a sunroof system (3) for a vehicle using a push-pull cable (22) for actuating a sunroof panel (4), the push-pull cable is received in a drive pipe (25), and a sunroof frame (12) is provided with a drive pipe retaining feature (16, 18). Therefore, the drive pipe may be made of flexible material, and firmly held in place by the pipe retaining feature even when the push-pull cable is subjected to significant tensile and compressive load. The pipe retaining feature may include a pipe retaining groove (16) for receiving the drive pipe and clips (18) for resiliently retaining the drive pipes in the pipe retaining groove.
