A torsion spring installation means for a vehicle sunroof, front frame and vehicle sunroof. The torsion spring may have spring coils, a first torsion arm and a second torsion arm. The torsion spring installation means has a recess, the recess being configured as a cavity having an opening, for the purpose of receiving the spring coils, and having a wall and a recess bottom; a receiving component, the receiving component having an opening part, in order to receive the first torsion arm; wherein a guide block is provided on a first wall face of the wall in a fixed manner, the guide block extending out from the first wall face in such a way that its size gradually diminishes. The present means provides convenience of installation and removal, ease of maintenance and replacement, effective prevention of water penetration, the ability to prevent jumping out and wobbling, an extended service life.

The invention relates to a sunroof for a motor vehicle including two glass sheets (1, 3) joined together by a thermoplastic insert (2), wherein the sheet (1) directed toward the outside is annealed, and the sheet (3) directed toward the inside is made of tempered glass, the total thickness of the glass sheets being no greater than 5 mm, and preferably no greater than 4.5 mm.

A front link shifts, based on power transmitted from a first guide shaft of a front shoe, among a full-close corresponding position that allows a movable panel to be arranged in a full-close position, a front-up corresponding position that allows the movable panel to be arranged in a front-up position, and a full-open corresponding position that allows the movable panel to be arranged in a full-open position. The front shoe check restricts power of the drive shoe from transmitting to the front shoe, when the drive shoe causes a rear link to shift between a collapsed position and a standing position.

An apparatus for adjusting a screen arrangement for a vehicle roof may have a main slider and an adjusting slider which can each be coupled to the screen arrangement and are configured for pivoting the screen arrangement out and in and for adjusting a prescribed alignment angle (A) of the screen arrangement. The apparatus may also have a drive coupling element which couples a drive cable of the main slider and a drive cable of the adjusting slider to one another, such that the main slider and the adjusting slider can be displaced, with respect to a common reference point, at least in certain portions, at different movement speeds, and such that with respect to a longitudinal axis (L) of the apparatus a spacing between the main slider and the adjusting slider and therefore an alignment angle (A) of the screen arrangement can be adjusted in a prescribed manner.

An articulating slanted back soft top assembly for 4-door and 2-door SUVs. A fabric cover is supported by a frame that is at least partially articulatable from at least a closed position to at least one open air position. The frame includes at least one forward fabric support bow member and at least one rearward fabric support bow member. The rear fabric support bow member being positioned when in the closed position in a manner which allows the fabric to clear a sport bar or “roll bar” member of a vehicle in the closed position such that a rear portion of the top is angled from the vertical when viewing the vehicle from the side.

A vehicle roof structure is provided capable of maintaining side collision performance of a vehicle even without a roof reinforcing member. The vehicle roof structure includes an annular frame that is joined to a circumferential edge of a roof panel (which includes an outer panel and an inner panel), and supports the roof panel. The annular frame has a higher rigidity than the roof panel, is arranged in an opening of a roof, and is joined to a pair of roof side rails, a front header, and a rear header.
