Abstract
A sliding roof for a vehicle comprises a plate movable lengthwise of the vehicle for opening and closing an opening in the vehicle roof. A front support supports the front end of the plate and is movable lengthwise of the vehicle for moving the plate between different positions. A rear support supports the rear end of the plate. A height-adjusting device is associated with the rear support to adjust the height of the rear end of the plate as the plate moves lengthwise of the vehicle. The rear support is also moved lengthwise of the vehicle to effect adjustment of the height of the rear end of the plate. An actuator effects movement of the front and rear supports at different speeds in a predetermined relative relationship in order to effect height adjustment.
