The motor vehicle has a glass roof, an antenna arrangement seated on this glass roof, and a metallic frame. An opening of the glass roof is located below the antenna arrangement and is covered thereby. The frame is located below the glass roof and forms a dome, which extends into the opening of the glass roof and to which the antenna arrangement is mechanically connected. A reflection surface associated with the antenna arrangement is attached on the lower side of the glass roof. The reflection surface has a grid structure made of intersecting lines extending transversely to the z direction. The lines are provided with a metallization which has a width of 0.5 to 2 mm. The intersecting lines delimit free fields, which are not metallized and have a maximum clear dimension of 3 to 15 mm.

A fastening rail for a vehicle roof serves for the assembly of a roof rack. The fastening rail includes an assembly region for the assembly of the roof rack and fastening regions for fastening the fastening rail to the vehicle roof. The fastening regions include rear engagement means configured integrally with the fastening rail, that serve for securing the fastening rail to the vehicle roof by means of a bayonet-type displacement movement.

A motor vehicle sliding door can be moved by a sliding movement between open and closed positions, wherein, in order to lock the sliding door in the open position, a mechanical door stop in the form of a locking latch which has a receiving region for a catch element of the sliding door is provided, and wherein the locking latch can be released by a motorized actuation device, whereby the catch element is released. In the event of failure of the motorized actuation device of the locking latch, for an intuitive unlocking and locking of the sliding door in the open position thereof may be achieved in that the locking latch has a resiliently loaded overload lever, in that the overload lever forms a lateral portion of the receiving region of the locking latch and in that, when the locking latch is locked, the overload lever can be pivoted outward when a specific pushing force of the sliding door is exceeded.
