Abstract
An open roof construction for a vehicle having an opening in the fixed roof comprises a stationary part for attachment to the roof, having stationary guide rails on either side of the roof opening and slidable slides with operating mechanisms therein. A closure means supported by the operating mechanisms is adjustable between a closed position in which it closes the roof opening, and an open position in which it releases the roof opening at least partially. Each operating mechanism comprises a curve plate attached to the closure means and having a guide track with which a guide member connected to the slide may engage. The slide includes a height-adjustable part which is equipped with the guide member being in engagement with a further guide track in a curve part connected to the stationary part.
