A vehicle roof opening having a cover and bearing device which displaceably supports the cover on a roof-side longitudinal guide rail a front and rear bearing unit, which moves the cover between a closed and at least one deployed ventilation positions. The front bearing unit may have a bearing arm, one end which pivotally mounts the cover and the other end which is slidingly and pivotally mounted on the longitudinal guide rail; carries out a positioning movement controlling the cover front region, when said cover is moved from its closed position into its ventilation position and/or into an open position. The bearing arm may be pivotally mounted by a rocker-type bearing having a pivot bearing and two sliding elements, on the longitudinal guide rail in a slidingly mounted bearing carriage, and a pivot-control unit guides the two sliding elements to achieve the rocker-type pivoting action of the bearing arm.

An arrangement for a vehicle roof has a roof element designed to be coupled to the vehicle roof and to provide a predetermined functionality. The arrangement further has a thread-free film element which is formed by calendering and is coupled to the roof element such that the predetermined functionality is obtained.

A wind deflector for a sliding roof system has a pivotable upper bracket in the raised state of the wind deflector, a pivotable lower bracket in the raised state of the wind deflector, a first elastic raising element, and a flow deflecting part which is fastened to central webs of the brackets and bridges the space between the central webs in the raised state of the wind deflector. The flow deflecting part extends obliquely upwards and opposite to the direction of travel between the central webs. The first elastic raising element is associated with the upper bracket and is configured to urge the upper bracket into the pivoted-up position. A sliding roof system is furthermore shown.

A roof module for a vehicle roof of a passenger vehicle includes a module frame which includes a front module frame transverse element, a rear module frame transverse element, a first lateral module frame longitudinal element, and a second lateral module frame longitudinal element, where the first and the second lateral module frame longitudinal elements connect the front and the rear module frame transverse elements to each other. A cover element is mounted on the module frame. The front module frame transverse element is a first shell element and the first shell element is connectable to a second shell element of a roof frame of the vehicle roof. When the first shell element is connected to the second shell element they together form a roof crossmember of the vehicle roof which encloses a cavity.

An automobile wind directing accessory device that is attachable to a sunroof opening of an automobile and has a panel or windshield, support bracket secured to a rear surface of the windshield, a support arm rotatably connected to the support bracket and at least one adjustable clamp having a first leg slidably connected to the support arm to enable the clamp to be adjusted inward or outward inside the sunroof opening to dictate the point where the windshield directs wind flow into the cabin of a vehicle and a second leg pivotally connected to the first leg by a spring device that maintains tips of the first leg and second leg in engagement with a vehicle in a normally closed position to secure the wind directing device in a vehicle opening and that are separated and opened when the first leg and second leg of the clamp are squeezed toward each other. The automobile wind directing accessory device is adapted for attached to a vehicle inside a window wherein the clamped is affixed to the support bracket in alignment with the rear surface of the wind shield.

An upper vehicle-body structure includes a cover that fits in an opening in a roof panel of a vehicle; a sunroof device that moves the cover between a one position in the opening and another position out of the opening; and a deflector which extends in a vehicle width direction along a front end edge portion of the sunroof device and is shifted to an upper position above the opening in a case that an opening operation of the cover is performed. The deflector includes plural raised walls having upper end portions and plural recesses which are alternately disposed with the raised walls in the vehicle width direction, each recess extending in a vehicle front-rear direction, and blocking wall portions protruding to a height not lower than the upper end portions of the raised walls are respectively provided in rear end portions of the plural recesses.
