A vehicle roof system and a method of controlling the vehicle roof system are provided. The vehicle roof system includes an opening-closing module that is provided on a roof of a vehicle and a loading module that is provided on the top of the opening-closing module. A locking mechanism is also provided within the loading module. The opening-closing module is slid in one direction or in the opposite direction to open or close the roof. The loading module has a loading space that is separated from an indoor space in the vehicle, with the opening-closing module disposed in between. The locking mechanism supports a weight of a load when in operation for locking and no longer supports the weight of the load when in operation for unlocking.

A perimeter frame for a sunshade module includes a sunshade opening, a guiderail, and a housing. The guiderail includes an end face, and a guideway, a mounting flange, and an attachment channel extending therefrom. The guideway opens inwardly to the sunshade opening, the mounting flange projects outwardly away from the sunshade opening, and the attachment channel opens downwardly from therebetween. The housing includes a guiderail adaptor. The guiderail adaptor is inserted into the attachment channel, secured to the attachment channel using a fastener installed from above the attachment channel, and engages the attachment channel from below.

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.

This disclosure details exemplary moonroof systems for vehicles. An exemplary moonroof system may include a pod assembly that may be received within an opening of a headliner. The pod assembly may be utilized to dock, deploy, and land an unmanned aerial vehicle relative to the moonroof system. The pod assembly may include a charging and cooling system for charging and cooling the unmanned aerial vehicle when it is docked within the pod assembly.
