Abstract
The invention is directed to a guide mechanism for plates and a sun protection system under a translucent sun roof in an automobile. The invention comprises at least two plates having guide blocks non-rigidly attached thereto and provided at each end of the plates. The guide blocks are adapted to slide within two opposing guide tracks located within guide sections in the roof of the automobile. Each of the guide blocks includes an elastic spring device which coacts with the plate whereby uneven torque forces caused by sliding of the plates and which causes friction at the guide track is minimized.
