Roof system for a vehicle (1) having at least a first panel (4) movable for closing a roof opening (3) in a closed position, with an operating mechanism (10) for the first panel (4) comprising a driving slide (23), a front mechanism (20), the front mechanism (20) including a front lever (21) which is hingeably connected to a panel bracket (22) attached to the first panel (4). The operating mechanism (10) further comprises a tilting mechanism (24) capable of moving the rear edge of the first panel (4) in a vertical direction. The tilting mechanism (24) is provided with a support member (71) projecting longitudinally therefrom in a forward direction and, in the closed position of the first panel (4), directly or indirectly engaging the panel bracket (22) at a location in the vicinity of the hingeable connection between the front lever and the panel bracket, for preventing or at least limiting an upward movement of the first panel (4) in its closed position.

The invention relates to a drive circuit (12) for a roof assembly, the roof assembly comprising a roof panel (2a) movable between a closed position and an opened position by a motor (9), the drive circuit (12) comprising an H-bridge (13) comprising switch elements (S1-S4) for controlling the speed of the motor (9); a reverse polarity protection switch (14), such as a MOSFET; and at least one measurement circuit (26, 26'). Wherein the drive circuit (12) is configured for receiving a PWM-signal with a duty cycle for operating the H-bridge (13). And wherein the at least one measurement circuit (26, 26') is configured for performing a current measurement of at least one of the switch elements (S1-S4, 14) respectively.

The invention relates to a roof system for a vehicle (10) having a roof opening (12) in a stationary roof part (11). The roof system comprises at least a panel (1) which is movable in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle (10) between a closed position and an, at least partially, open position. The roof system further comprises an operating mechanism for moving the panel between its closed and open positions. The operating mechanism comprises: a pair of longitudinally extending stationary guide rails (6) at opposite sides of the roof opening; a driven slide (7) with at least one operating channel (5) which is movable along one of the guide rails (6) and a lever (2, 3) that with a first end is connected to the panel (1) and that through at least one cam (4) engages and is driven by the operating channel (5) of the driven slide (7) in such a manner that the panel (1) moves between its closed and open positions. The driven slide (7) and the lever (2, 3) are provided with at least one pair of cooperating engagement members (8, 9) which are positioned such that during a normal operation of the roof system, said engagement members (8,9) are out of engagement with each other, and upon deformation of the driven slide (7) and/or the front lever (2) said engagement members (8, 9) are in engagement with each other.

A roof system is provided for a vehicle having a roof opening (3) in a fixed roof (1, 2) of the vehicle, at least comprising a panel (4) which is movable relative to the fixed roof between a closed position, a tilted position in which a rear end of the panel is lifted and a fully opened position, and a rear lever (11) for lifting a rear end of the panel (4), wherein the panel (4) at its rear end is provided with a bracket (13) comprising a guide curve in which the rear lever movably engages, such that the rear lever is movable between a position engaging a first guide curve section (14) in which the panel assumes a first tilted position in which its rear end is lifted to a first height, and a position engaging a second guide curve (15) section in which the panel assumes a second tilted position in which its rear end is lifted to an increased second height.

The present invention relates to a transparent roof panel assembly for a vehicle comprising a panel, a light source and a light in-coupling element wherein the light source is provided in a serviceable manner. The invention further relates to a method for attaching and removing said light source, and a vehicle comprising said transparent roof panel assembly.

The invention relates to a roof assembly for a vehicle, including a pair of guide rails, a roof panel movably supported on the guide rails and configured to close the roof opening, each guide rail slidably supporting a respective operating mechanism for the roof panel, each operating mechanism comprising a front mechanism, a tilting mechanism, a locking mechanism, and a driving slide. The operating mechanism further comprises a panel bracket which is pivotally connected to the front lever and slidably connected to the sliding claw. The driving slide is configured for operating the front mechanism on a first side of the panel bracket in the guide rail and for operating the locking mechanism on a second, opposite side of the panel bracket in the guide rail and the tilting mechanism is operable by the locking mechanism on the second side of the panel bracket in the guide rail.
