Abstract
A vehicle roof with a movable portion is provided which covers a roof opening accompanied by lateral drip mouldings and can be pushed back along guideways formed in the drip mouldings over the fixed roof portion. The movable roof portion (1) is in the form of a sandwich component, preferably made of plastic, which covers the whole width of the roof and is supported with lateral slide flanges (11) directly on the basis of the lateral external drip mouldings (9) of the roof frame (3) by means of an elastic sealing material (12). The movable roof portion (1) is pivotally supported at its leading edge to the roof frame (3) and fixed at its rear edge by a separable toggle hinge (22). The movable roof part (1) can be pushed back over the roof external surface after opening of its rear edge and releasing of the toggle hinge (22) by hand, whereby the lateral slide-flanges (11) are received by guideways (15) of the lateral rainwater deflectors (14).
