Abstract
A roof system for a vehicle includes a sunshade assembly, which comprises a flexible sunscreen having opposed longitudinal and transversal edges and a winding shaft carrying a winding roller configured for winding and unwinding the sunscreen. The roller is provided with an internal spring connected between the roller and the shaft and is preloaded to wind the sunscreen thereon. Two drive cables extend along and are capable of a movement parallel to the longitudinal edges of the sunscreen. The cables are connected to opposite ends of an operating beam for moving it to wind and unwind the sunscreen. A rotatable gearwheel is positioned at only one end of and concentrically fixed to the shaft and is drivably in engagement with one of the drive parts, such that a displacement of said one of the drive parts results in a rotation of the shaft in the same direction as the roller.
