Abstract
A cover (3) of a sliding-lifting roof or a lifting roof, which serves to selectively close or, at least partially, expose a roof opening in a vehicle roof (1). The vehicle roof (1) is provided with a seal (4). A specific surface roughness (8) is provided, at least in the area of the cover front edge (7), in order to avoid squeaking or creaking noises during pivoting movement of the cover (3). This roughness, preferably, is created during injection molding or foam casting of the cover (3) by a corresponding roughness provided on a shaping surface of the mold.
