An open roof construction for a vehicle having a roof opening in a fixed roof part, comprises a first panel and a second panel for at least closing first and second portions of the roof opening. The first panel is movably supported by an operating mechanism guided in a guide rail. A rear support member partly moves alongside the second panel when the first panel moves above the second panel. The seal of the second panel and/or of the fixed roof part being such that the rear support member is enabled to pass between the second panel and the fixed roof part. The seal for the second panel extends, in lateral sense, more inwardly than the seal of the first panel at the rear thereof when in the closed position, the rear support member passing between the seal on the holding member and the second panel.

A deflector apparatus for a vehicle includes a lower frame fixed to a roof of a vehicle and a fitting recess. A facing is held by the lower frame and an upper frame, the facing protrudes above a surface of the roof in association with an upward movement of the upper frame, the facing is folded and retracted towards a rear side in association with a downward movement of the upper frame. A guide member includes a fitting protrusion fitted in the fitting recess and elastically recovering to guide the facing to be folded at a retracting movement of the facing. A restriction wall restricts the guide member from moving such that a movable distance of the guide member in a counter-insertion direction of the fitting protrusion is a distance that is shorter than an insertion amount of the fitting protrusion relative to the fitting recess.

An arrangement for a vehicle roof having a cover which, starting from a closure position, can be raised for opening by deployment means in the rear region thereof and which can be displaced backward over the vehicle roof. The deployment means have a sliding member which can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle by a drive and which has a first slotted guide. The deployment means also have a second slotted guide which is secured to the vehicle, and have a first control lever pivotably supported in the rear region on the cover and is coupled to the first slotted guide and the second slotted guide, so that, starting from the closure position of the cover, when the sliding member is displaced in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, a movement of the cover in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is initially locked by means of the first control lever.

A vehicle includes a windshield, a backlite spaced from the windshield, and a moonroof. The moonroof is moveable relative to the windshield and the backlite between a closed position and an open position. When in the closed position, the moonroof is adjacent to both the windshield and the backlite.

A roof system for a vehicle having a roof opening with a movable closure. A stationary guide rails guide operating mechanisms that operates the closure. The operating mechanism comprises a first device configured to move a rear edge upwardly and rearwardly and a second device including a lever to move a front edge of the closure. A guiding slide in the guide rail is coupled to the first device and the second device so as to move the closure. The lever has a pivotal connection to the closure and, remote from the pivotal connection, a sliding connection to the guiding slide by a first guide member and a sliding connection to a first stationary guide curve by a second guide member during movement of the closure. A third guide member on the lever of the second device engages a second stationary guide curve during movement of the closure.

An electric interconnection system in a vehicle includes a fixed part of the vehicle and a movable part of the vehicle. The movable part has a solar cell module mounted thereon and includes at least one component that maintains contact with the fixed part when the moving part moves. One or more first electric wires extend from the solar cell module of the movable part. Each of the one or more first electric wires has an end that is fixed to one of the at least one component of the movable part. One or more second electric wires are installed on the fixed part. The one or more second electric wires maintain contact with the ends of the first electric wires when the movable part moves.

A retractable roof system for a vehicle that includes a sliding/folding textile cover. The cover is folded as the roof system retracts and is stored below a spoiler assembly. The spoiler is an active spoiler that is raised to receive the cover and lowered to enclose the cover in a storage compartment below the spoiler.
