A opening and closing device for sunroofs of an automobile, which has a pair of rails and , a lid for opening and closing an opening , right and left cables engaged to a lid and arranged along the rails and , and a drive mechanism for driving the cables in a reciprocating manner. The cables construct a closed loop arrangement with bypassing the opening of the loof of the automobile. One of the cable coming out of the drive mechanism is arranged to the right-side rails , bridged to the left side lail , reversed at the base end of the left side lail and returned along the same route to the drive mechanism

A inner cable for push-pull control cable includes a core and N pieces of strands spirally wound around the core, wherein a diameter of the core is larger than a diameter of the each of the N pieces of strands, wherein the N pieces of strands includes M piece(s) thereof wherein each diameter of M piece(s) of the N pieces of strands is larger than each diameter the remaining of (N-M) pieces of strands of the N pieces of strands, and wherein N and M are integers satisfying the following relation of 1.ltoreq.M.ltoreq.0.3N, and N.gtoreq.4.

Inner cable for push-pull control cable

A stranded wire rope of the present invention is composed of a plurality of wires. The stranded wire rope is subjected to swaging. A mean wire diameter ratio of the plurality of wires is at most 5%, and a wire gap ratio is in a range between 20% and 35% due to sujecting the stranded wire rope to swaging. The mean wire diameter ratio and the wire gap ratio are defined as:
