A glazed roof for a motor vehicle comprises a fixed part with an aperture and a panel that is movable relative to the fixed part, capable of closing off said aperture, the moving of said panel implementing two shuttles (11, 21) guided in translation respectively in two rails (12), means for fixed attachment/detachment to link or not link the movement of each of said shuttle with the movement of a driving cable (15). Said means of fixed attachment/detachment comprise a hooking element movable between a position of fixed attachment in which it forms an angle of 5 to 15 with the direction of said driving cable, an end portion of said hooking element cooperating with a complementary housing in said shuttle; and a detached position in which it extends appreciably in parallel to the direction of said driving cable, said end portion being moved out of said housing.

Systems for altering vehicle functions are provided. A system for altering a vehicle function includes one or more processors, one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules. When executed by the one or more processors, the machine readable instructions may cause the system to determine a presence of a roof mounted article on a vehicle and disable at least one movable roof member function in response to the determination. In some embodiments, in response to determining that the vehicle is proximate a structure and determining the presence of the vehicle mounted article on the vehicle, the system may generate a notification pertaining to the vehicle mounted article. In some embodiments, the system may provide navigation assistance based on the determination that the vehicle mounted article is present on the vehicle.

A sunroof structure for a vehicle has a left side frame disposed on a left side of a vehicle body roof, extending along a vehicle front-rear direction, a right side frame disposed on a right side of the vehicle body roof, extending along the vehicle front-rear direction, a roof panel disposed between the left side frame and the right side frame, having a sunroof opening, a sunroof disposed in the sunroof opening and having at least two glass panels arranged next to each other in the vehicle front-rear direction, in which at least a foremost glass panel of the at least two glass panels is configured to be openable and closeable, and a sunroof side rail disposed below a peripheral portion of the sunroof opening, extending along the vehicle front-rear direction, and having a drain groove and a drain portion configured to discharge water accumulated in the drain groove.

A vehicle sunroof device in which a movable panel is supported by a panel support member and the movable panel is capable of being moved in a tilted manner, the movable panel is prevented from being detached due to an upward load without increasing the thickness and the weight of the cored bar of the panel support member in a low-cost structure. A portion of the cored bar of the panel support member, which is located under cam grooves is bent to form first and second protrusions which protrude laterally in the thickness direction of the cored bar. The first protrusion is formed by notching multiple parts of the cored bar and bending the notched parts.

Roof system for an automotive vehicle. A roof system with a roof opening fixed to the vehicle including a movably mounted roof part and at least one deployment and guide mechanism for displacing the roof part, and including a control carriage which is movable by a drive system in a guide track arrangement fixed to the roof, and a front and a rear deployment lever. The control carriage has a front control link, in which a bearing pin of the front deployment lever is guided, wherein the bearing pin projects through the front control link into a lifting slotted link fixed to the roof, which is oriented at least in sections crosswise in relation to the front control link.
