Abstract
In a sliding roof for an automobile, a rigid sliding lid is slidably guided on lateral guide rails, a movable lid liner participating in the lid displacements being connected to the sliding lid, which liner is likewise displaceable on the guide rails. In order to achieve a step-free, flush joint of the lid liner, when the sliding lid is closed, with a surrounding fixed roof liner, and to avoid damage to the movable lid liner during sliding, the sliding lid and lid liner are connected to each other by guide elements, positively controlled by the lifting movements of the sliding lid, which guide elements during lowering movements of the sliding lid simultaneously raise the lid liner and, during raising of the sliding lid into its closed position, simultaneously lower the lid liner until it lies flush with the fixed liner.
