Abstract
A rigid cover assembly for vehicle roofs having an opening that can be opened or closed by displacement of a rigid cover panel is provided with a mounting arrangement for the cover panel that is simple to install, provides a good sealing action, and permits considerable dimensional tolerances for the cover panel, even when made of glass or the like. In accordance with preferred embodiments, a peripheral mounting frame is placed in abutment with the bottom edge surface area of the cover panel. This mounting frame is bent downward and outward and then extends upward at its outer edge area so as to have an essentially U- or V-shaped section upon which a sealing section is pushed on from above. The sealing section has a flange which peripherally overlies the top surface of the cover panel.
