In a component having vibration-damping properties, a mixture for manufacturing the component, and a method of manufacturing such a component, the component has granular and/or grain- and/or flake-shaped piezoelectric particles which are embedded in a polymer matrix in a proportion of at least 10 volume %. In order to improve the damping effect, at least some of the piezoelectric particles have a polarization which is different from zero.

The invention relates to a sliding roof for motor vehicles with reduced sliding roof buffeting noise. It comprises a sliding roof opening, as well as a movable sliding cover (,) for covering the sliding roof opening, whereby, depending on the actual position of the sliding cover (,), a resulting clear sliding roof opening (,) is formed. Pursuant to the invention, the geometry of sliding roofs with an essentially rectangular or trapezoidal, resulting clear sliding roof opening is modified due to the partial or complete covering (,) of at least one of the, as seen in the driving direction, rear corner regions of the resulting clear sliding roof opening (,).
