A method for producing an arrangement for a vehicle roof can have the steps of providing a first element with a first end and a second end, the element being couplable by the first end to the vehicle roof. The method can also have the steps of providing a pumpable substance with predetermined material properties, and applying the provided substance by injection molding at a predetermined position at the second end of the first element and thereby forming a second element such that the second element is coupled to the first element and is pivotable relative to the first element about an axis of rotation (A). An arrangement and system for a vehicle roof is also provided.

A power feed structure for movable body includes a flat electric wire having one end connected to a vehicle body and the other end connected to a sunroof, and an excess length absorbing mechanism for winding an excess portion of the flat electric wire. The excess length absorbing mechanism is arranged so as to be movable along a rail member. The excess length absorbing mechanism includes a rotating body having a wire winding part to wind the flat electric wire on the sunroof and the flat electric wire on the vehicle body, and a spiral spring for urging the rotating body to a winding direction to wind the flat electric wire on the sunroof and the flat electric wire on the vehicle body.

A sunroof feed structure includes: a rail fixed to a vehicle body of a vehicle; a slider movable along the rail in a front and rear direction of the vehicle; a sunroof supported by the slider, movable inside a ceiling panel of the vehicle body as a movement path, and capable of opening and closing an opening of the ceiling panel; an electric wire for power feeding between the vehicle body and the sunroof, the electric wire having one end fixed to the vehicle body and the other end fixed to the sunroof; and an excess length absorber for winding an excess length of the electric wire, the excess length absorber being movable together with the sunroof in a position rearward of the sunroof in the front and rear direction of the vehicle.

An open roof construction for a vehicle includes a closure element supported by an operating mechanism. The operating mechanism comprises a driving slide, slidably guided in a guide rail, a front support attached to the closure element and guided by the guide rail, a support member which is slidably connected to the closure element, and a curve part on the stationary part including a guide track having a vertical component and extending rearwardly beyond a rear edge of the roof opening. The guide rail, driving slide, connecting element, support member and curve part on the stationary part are positioned outside the seal between the closure element and the stationary part. The connecting element is connected to the driving slide and support member in a manner such that it is movable at least partly in substantially vertical direction with respect to the guide rail.
