Abstract
In a sliding roof for automobiles, comprising a sliding lid guided on guide rails in a roof opening, a lid liner, which participates in the lid displacements, is connected with the sliding lid by guide elements, which, 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 without any step. To prevent a gap from remaining in the closed position between the peripheral edges of the lid liner and fixed liner opening, which would make possible penetration of noise into the vehicle interior, it is provided that the peripheral edge of the lid liner possess a downwardly facing bearing surface, opposite which there is a correspondingly upwardly facing counter-surface at the peripheral edge of the fixed liner opening, in such a manner that the bearing surface and the counter-surface bear against each other without a gap in the closed position. As soon as a slight upward movement occurs, the bearing surface lifts off the counter-surface to form a ventilating gap.
