Abstract
An open roof construction of a vehicle comprises a closure element that mates with a roof opening, which closure element is movable along a first longitudinal guide and a second longitudinal guide. To this end, the closure element includes a front support, which is supported in the first longitudinal guide, and a guide element, which is slidable in the second longitudinal guide. An adjusting element, which is movable in the longitudinal direction by means of an actuating element being driven from the drive unit, is disposed under said closure element, which adjusting element is fitted with the guide element and which is arranged for moving the guide element into and out of engagement with the second longitudinal guide. Optionally, the adjusting element moves laterally during the longitudinal movement.
