Abstract
The present invention relates to a vehicle roof with a roof opening () and with a roof section () having a roof tip () pointing to the front of the vehicle () and a roof end () pointing to the rear of the vehicle (). The roof section () can be moved along guide tracks (), which run on both sides of the roof opening, out of a closed position, which closes the roof opening (), into an open position, which at least partially opens up the roof opening. In order to optimize the vehicle roof to the effect that, in the partially open position and/or during the opening movement while under way, only very low travelling noises, if any at all, are produced and the highest requirements with regard to the sealing in the closed position are met, the opening movement from the closed position of the roof section begins with a movement of the roof end () into a lowered position below the roof opening ().
