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.

An assembly for a sunroof of a vehicle includes a longitudinal rail defining a longitudinal cavity having an opening. A bracket supports a first sunroof panel for movement along the rail, between a closed position and a fully open position. A portion of the bracket extends into the cavity opening and is movable along the cavity from a first side of a plane extending through a forward-most edge of the second sunroof panel to a second side of the plane opposite the first side of the plane, during movement of the first sunroof panel to the fully open position. Enabling the support bracket to move to the second side of the plane aids in maximizing the size of the sunroof opening when the panel is in the fully open position.

A vehicle window having a sandwich structure having an outer window body facing a vehicle environment and an inner window body facing a vehicle interior and having a solar cell arrangement, which is disposed between the outer window body and the inner window body, whose upper surface faces the outer window body and whose lower surface faces the inner window body and which has several solar cell elements, between which spaces are formed. At least one reflective layer is disposed on the side of the solar cell arrangement facing away from the outer window body and which reflects radiation, which passes through the spaces between the solar cell elements starting from the vehicle environment, at least partly in the direction of the solar cell elements.

A roof system for a vehicle, comprises a movable roof panel for a roof opening. Stationary guide rails slidably guide an operating mechanism that operates the panel. The operating mechanism comprises a first device for moving the panel rear edge towards a raised position and a second device including a lever for moving the panel front edge in a vertical direction. A guiding slide is driven to move the panel both vertically and horizontally through the first and second devices. The lever comprises a first pivotal connection to the panel, and, remote from that spaced second and third connections. The third connection connects the lever to the guiding slide. A fourth connection on the lever is arranged near the third connection and connects the lever to the guiding slide when the third connection is disconnected from the guiding slide during a movement of the front edge of the panel upwardly.

The present disclosure provides a sunroof system for a vehicle including glass slidably insertable into a vehicle body of the vehicle, and a passive radiant cooling layer disposed below the glass and slidably insertable into the vehicle body. The passive radiant cooling layer includes at least two layers among a first emission layer having a high emissivity in a first band relative to a band outside the first band, a second emission layer having a high emissivity in a second band, which is included in the first band and narrower than the first band, relative to a band outside the second band, and a reflection layer having a high reflectivity in a third band, which is a shorter wavelength than the first band, relative to a band outside the third band.
