A sunroof assembly with a composite water management assembly having side rails with a water trough connected at one end to end caps and to a pair of corners at the other, which connect to a front rail at substantially right angles to the side rails. This composite assembly can be connected by vibration welding. A reinforcement bar can be connected at substantially right angles to the rearward end of vertically oriented slide tracks snap fitted into substantially the length of the side rails. A pair of mirror slide mechanisms with vertically oriented mounts are retained, but free to slide, within a channel of the slide track and outboard of the water trough. A movable panel such as a glass sunroof are attached to the slide mechanism. A sunshade can be added that also combines water shedding ribs to channel water to the water trough.

Modular tilt slide sunroof assembly and method of manufacture

A cover assembly for a vehicle bed includes track members, support members, a flexible cover, and a reversible motor. The support members are movably arranged on the track members such that (1) movement of a distal one of the support members in the opening or closing direction causes the distal support member to push or pull each of the other support members in a sequential manner in the opening or closing direction. A drive cable is engaged with a gear operatively connected to the motor in intermeshed relation such that (a) rotation of the gear by the motor in a first rotational direction pushes the cable in a distal direction to push the distal support member in the closing direction and (b) rotation of the gear in a second rotation direction pulls the cable in a proximal direction to pull the distal support member in the opening direction.

Cover assembly for a vehicle bed

A covering of a convertible top compartment of a convertible which has a convertible top which can be deposited in a convertible top compartment, the covering having at least one first cover part and one second cover part which are supported to be able to pivot relative to one another. Here, it is provided that the covering ( ) can be displaced by a displacement arrangement between a closed position in which the convertible top ( ) is deposited in the convertible top compartment ( ) and the first cover part ( ) and the second cover part ( ) form a flat covering for the opening ( ) of the convertible top compartment, an intermediate position in which the first cover part ( ) and the second cover part ( ) at least partially overlap and are removed from the opening ( ) of the convertible top compartment to a location underneath the path of motion of the opening or closing convertible top ( ), and a deposited position in which the first cover part ( ) and the second cover part ( ) are located under the closed convertible top ( ) essentially lying on top of one another.
