Abstract
An open roof construction for a vehicle having an opening in its fixed roof comprises a stationary part with at least one guide rail, which is to be secured to the roof. An adjustable closure panel is supported by a mechanism which is capable of sliding movement in the guide rail. The closure panel can be adjusted between a closed position, in which it closes the roof opening, and an open position, in which it at least partially releases the roof opening. The guide rail is provided with an adjustable cover, which can be adjusted synchronously with the movements of the mechanism, or can be made deformable locally.
