A supporting frame is configured to support a sunshade of a sunroof apparatus. The supporting frame supports the sunshade from below and includes a first inverted V-shaped protruding portion, a second inverted V-shaped protruding portion, and a third inverted V-shaped protruding portion, which are arranged in order from a downstream side toward an upstream side in an unrolling direction of the sunshade. The third inverted V-shaped protruding portion extends continuously in a longitudinal direction of the supporting frame. The first inverted V-shaped protruding portion and the second inverted V-shaped protruding portion are arranged alternately in the longitudinal direction within a range of the length of the third inverted V-shaped protruding portion such that the sunshade is supported, in the unrolling direction, by the third inverted V-shaped protruding portion and the first inverted V-shaped protruding portion or by the third inverted V-shaped protruding portion and the second inverted V-shaped protruding portion.

A soft top assembly which includes lift assist and improved fabric management. The assembly includes front side rails pivotally connected to rear side rails. A plurality of fabric control bows with control linkages provide fabric control to the top material during pivoting of the front side rails. A first and second gas strut are attached to the rear side rails to assist lifting and controlled motion as the top is moved between a closed position and open sunroof position, as one strut is fully loaded and compressed while the other strut is fully loaded and open, for lift assist and dampening.

An assembly for moving a vehicle roof cover may have a mechanical component coupled to the cover; a carriage guided in a guide rail; and a deployment element which is extended in an elongate manner along a longitudinal axis. The mechanical component may be coupled to the deployment element at a first end of said deployment element, to transmit a movement of the carriage along a longitudinal direction in sections to the mechanical component. A locking pin may be arranged at a second end of the deployment element; the locking pin can be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the deployment element, movable between a first state and a second state, wherein the deployment element is locked in the first state preventing movement along the longitudinal direction relative to the carriage, and is locked in the second state preventing movement along the longitudinal direction relative to the guide rail.

A roof device for a vehicle includes: a plurality of plate members and a frame coupled to a vehicle body and configured to support the plurality of plate member, where at least a portion of the frame is configured to rotate around its edge, and at least one of the plurality of plate members is configured to slide along an inner edge of the frame.
