Abstract
A control configuration for a vehicle sunroof panel which is adjustable by means of drive cables, whereby the transmission of jolts and vibrations from the drive elements to the panel and vice versa is damped or prevented by the intermediate elastic damping element between the driver elements engaging with the drive cable and guide shoes controlling the movements of the panel. The elastic damping element preferably is a rubber block that is secured to the driver elements such that vibrations and jolts are at least partially absorbed by the rubber block.
