Abstract
A vehicle opening roof comprises a frame which surrounds a longitudinal opening in the roof of a vehicle and a panel assembly which is guided between spaced parallel guide rails forming the side members of the frame. A transverse mounting member is slidably guided between the guide rails and incorporates a handle-operated locking mechanism for engagement with a front rail at the front end of the frame to lock the panel assembly in the closed position. The mounting member also incorporates a first bracket for connection to a rigid panel, a second bracket for connection to a rigid flap at the forward end of a flexible covering, and a transmission mechanism for connection to the flap and operable in synchronism with the handle-operated locking mechanism to draw the flap down into engagement with the roof at the front end of the opening.
