In a sliding-lifting roof or top sliding-lifting roof for automobiles, comprising a sliding lid (3) slidably guided on lateral guide rails and pivotal upwards by means of driven rear guide shoes for ventilation, the outward pivoting and inward pivoting take place through specially constructed guide blocks (56), fixed to the sliding lid (3), which cooperate with the rear guide shoes not only by guide slits (57) but also by control levers (63). In this way, in the interests of an improved stability of the lid, the outward pivoting and inward pivoting movements of the sliding lid (3) are divided into two movement phases, which are created, on the one hand, by the engagement, which can be cancelled, of guide pins (54) with the guide slits (57) in the guide blocks and, on the other hand, by the control levers (63), articulated to the rear guide shoes and connected rotatably and displaceably to the guide blocks (56).

Sliding-lifting roof for automobiles

A top sliding roof or top sliding-lifting roof for automobiles, having a sliding lid (3) slidably guided above the fixed roof surface (1) on lateral guide rails, which sliding lid is surrounded at the front and sides by an outer frame (4) and against which a sealing profile (9) bears from below for sealing the roof opening (2), possesses a single-piece, especially streamlined outer frame (4), adjoining the sliding lid (3) in sealed manner and with a smooth surface and making possible a pre-assembly, which outer frame protects the guiding and functional components of the roof construction against fouling.
