Abstract
A skylight window formed in a top roof of an automotive car body is either fully or partly opened and closed by front and rear sliding roof portions. The front and rear sliding roof portions, or roofs, each independently moves between closed and open positions. The front sliding roof is guided to its open position by front roof guide mechanisms disposed on opposite sides of the skylight window so as to locate the front sliding roof over a rear stationary roof in the open position. The rear sliding roof is guided to its open position by rear guide mechanisms disposed on opposite sides of the skylight window so as to locate the rear sliding roof under the rear stationary roof in the open position. These front and rear sliding roofs, when closed, are even with a plane including the top roof of the card body.
