Abstract

A roof assembly for a vehicle, having an opening (1) in its fixed roof (2), comprises a frame and a closure element (4) which can be adjusted by means of an adjusting mechanism (5) including a driving slide (6). The closure element is at least movable between a closed position for closing the roof opening, and an open position, in which the roof opening is at least partially released. The frame (3) is fitted with at least one longitudinal guide track (7). The closure element (4) is supported near its front side by a front support (11 13) which is movably guided by said longitudinal guide track (7), and which is supported rearwards thereof by a lifting device (8 10). The lifting device including a closure guide curve (8) and a track guide curve (9) as well as a guide member (10) connected to the driving slide (6) and slidably in engagement with said guide curves (8, 9) to cause a height adjustment of the closure element (4) upon a sliding movement of the driving slide (6) and guide member (10) relative to the guide curves (8, 9). The front support (11 13) comprises a front closure guide curve (11) and a front track guide curve (12) as well as a front guide member (13) which is connected to the driving slide (6) and which is slidably in engagement with both front guide curves (11, 12) in order to cause a height adjustment of the front side of the closure element (4).
