A vehicle roof is provided having a roof opening limited by a fixed roof portion which is immobile relative to a vehicle body, and a roof opening system having a lid element which can be selectively displaced between a closed position, in which the roof opening is closed, and an open position, in which the roof opening is open, wherein the lid element comprises at least one rigid panel which is disposed on a support arrangement which is mounted via a multi-bar linkage on either side of a vertical longitudinal center plane of the roof, wherein an actuation handle is connected to the bilaterally disposed multi-bar linkages, allowing the lid element to be displaced between the closed position and the open position by manual actuation of the multi-bar linkage.

A window arrangement of a motor vehicle is provided having a window pane unit, which can be linked to a vehicle bodywork via a first and second hinge arrangement, the two hinge arrangements defining a common pivot axis of the window pane unit and each comprising two hinge parts, which are connected to each other in an articulated manner, and which can be separated from each other without the use of tools, the two hinge parts of the first hinge arrangement, in a single defined pivoted position being movable with respect to each other and being separable from each other in the radial direction in relation to the pivot axis and the two hinge parts of the second hinge arrangement, in relation to the pivot axis, only being separable from each other in the axial direction when the two hinge parts of the first hinge arrangement have been detached.

A vehicle roof base frame is provided, which can be placed on top of an edge area of a vehicle roof structure delimiting a roof opening, having two longitudinal legs and a transverse leg connecting the two longitudinal legs to each other, the legs being realized as separate parts. A seal is arranged between each of the longitudinal legs and the transverse leg when in an assembly position in which the legs are firmly connected to each other.

A vehicle construction, having a displaceable top which includes a linkage that, on each of its two sides, in relation to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the top, and can have one link arrangement, the link arrangement being pivotably mounted at a main bearing that is fixed relative to the vehicle. In a closed position of the top, a top surface element abuts against a component part that is fixed relative to the vehicle via a sealing arrangement, wherein the sealing arrangement is arranged at a sealing carrier unit, which can be pivoted with respect to the component part that is fixed relative to the vehicle and with respect to the top surface element.
