A movable panel assembly includes a panel movable between open and closed positions and also movable to a vented position. In the vented position a mesh member attached on one side to the panel and on another side to a guide or gutter structure extends to substantially cover the opening. The mesh member is flexible and collapses with the gutter guide assembly. The mesh member inhibits the intrusion of water into the passenger compartment and reduces wind noise.

A vehicle roof panel assembly comprises a vehicle roof panel and a track to receive the vehicle roof panel. The track has a track link and a track width. A guide is connected to the panel and slides on the track and has a portion that is selectively alterable between a first dimension and a second dimension less than the first dimension. A cable connected to the guide moves the vehicle panel along the track length and may actuate the guide portion between the first dimension and the second dimension. A drive unit is connected to the cable.
