Abstract
A vehicle has a roof assembly for opening an opening in its fixed roof. The roof assembly includes a frame attached to the vehicle roof and a panel which is movably supported by said stationary part and which can be adjusted by an adjusting mechanism including a driving slide. The panel is movable between a closed position for closing the roof opening, and an open, rearward position for being at least partially above the roof behind the roof opening, in which the roof opening is at least partially released. The frame is fitted with at least one front longitudinal guide track extending at least along the roof opening, whereas a rear longitudinal guide track is mounted at least substantially rearward of the roof opening. The closure element is supported near its front side by a front support which is movably guided by said front longitudinal guide track, and which is supported rearwards thereof by a lifting device comprising a guiding device for engagement in said rear longitudinal guide track upon rearward movement of the panel. The lifting device is adapted to tilt the panel from the closed position in the roof opening to an upwardly inclined venting position on the one hand and to move the panel from the closed position rearwardly on the other hand.
