1. Glass cover unit of a sliding roof system for an automotive vehicle and method for its production.

2.1 A glass cover unit comprising a glass cover and a metallic carrier arrangement and an in-place foamed synthetic material, said foamed material being provided in a boundary area of the glass cover and fixing the metallic carrier arrangement in relation to a bottom side of the glass cover, wherein a sealing insert is provided between a top side of the metallic carrier arrangement and the bottom side of the glass cover to ensure spacing of the top side of the metallic carrier arrangement from the bottom side of the glass cover, is known.

2.2 According to the invention, the sealing insert is a sealing bead configured using a deformable material which extends in an annular shape on the metallic carrier arrangement, which adheres to the metallic carrier arrangement, and has bead ends adjoining in alignment joint to joint.

2.3 Use with passenger vehicles.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body including: an elongated frame made of a first material and extending along a door opening; and an elongated rail made of a second material having a linear expansion coefficient different from that of the first material, the rail covering the frame and extending along the frame, the rail being configured to abut with a weather strip when a door closes the door opening. The rail is fixed to the frame at a plurality of fixation parts that includes: a first fixation part provided in an intermediate part of the rail in the longitudinal direction of the rail; and second fixation parts provided, respectively, in opposite end parts of the rail in its longitudinal direction. In the longitudinal direction of the rail, backlash widths at the second fixation parts are larger than a backlash width at the first fixation part.

A roof system for a vehicle comprises a wind deflector member including a wind deflector body which extends in a transverse direction of the vehicle that is movable between a retracted position below a fixed roof and an extended position at least partly above the fixed roof. Wind deflector arms at the lateral ends of the wind deflector body extend substantially in a rearward direction and are at least rotatably connected to a stationary part. A sealing arrangement comprises a first seal is positioned between the wind deflector body and a panel that seals a gap between an the wind deflector body and the panel in its closed position. The first seal is configured to close a gap between the wind deflector arms and the panel. A second seal is closes a gap between the wind deflector member and the stationary part when the panel is in its closed position.
