Abstract
The invention relates to a roof panel intended for closing an opening provided in a roof of a motor vehicle. The roof panel is at least along part of its circumference provided with a sealing section made of a resilient material, which is mounted on a supporting flange of the roof panel. Near its upper end the sealing section is provided with a sealing flange, which is at least substantially in line with the closing plate, the sealing flange joining an upper end of a leg of a substantially U-shaped connecting part near its end located near the closing plate. The other leg, which is located at a larger distance from the closing plate, is connected with the supporting flange, whilst a resilient lip engaging under the closing plate is connected to the leg joining the sealing flange of the sealing section.
