Abstract
In a sun blind for a vehicle roof a sun blind is situated below a panel which is displaceably associated with a roof opening, this blind, when not in use, automatically being wound up on a spool (,) which is mounted roof-side. The blind sheet (,) of the sun blind is guided in a sliding manner using its side edges along guide rails (,) attached laterally in the roof opening. The guide rails (,) and the side edges of the blind sheet (,) are formed in such a manner and engage with one another such that the side edges can be slid easily in the guide rails in the course of opening and closing movements of the sun blind, but cannot be pulled out of the guide rails in a transverse direction to the direction of movement of the blind, whereby the edge areas of the blind sheet are secured against fluttering and vibration movements.
