Abstract
A window assembly mounted in a roof of an automobile vehicle having an opening with a sunshade receiver. The window assembly includes a glass panel moveable from a fully closed position, through a slightly open to a fully open position in a two-step motion. The glass panel includes at least one auto release and a roll-up sunshade disposed beneath it having a spring loaded retractable screen via a tensioning and rewinding device and a sunshade latch. The at least one auto release stopper has a predetermined shape and size to engage with the at least one auto release bracket when the glass panel begins to be slightly open in order to disconnect the sunshade latch from the sunshade receiver and let the screen move from a fully closed position to a fully open position under the action of the tensioning and rewinding device.
