A roof system for a vehicle having a roof opening (1) in a roof part (2) thereof comprises a closure panel (3) which is movable between a closed position and an open position. The closure panel is provided with an operating mechanism (7, 8) allowing the closure panel to pivot and slide. An operating mechanism comprises a front device (7) and a rear device (8). A driving slide (15) is drivable in order to move the closure panel both in vertical and in horizontal direction via the front device (7) and rear device (8). At least one of the front and rear devices (7, 8) comprises a lever (9; 21) which is pivotally and slidably connected to the driving slide (15) or the stationary guide rail (6) through a second pivot pin (11; 23) near the lower end. It is also provided with a first guide cam (12, 13; 24), which is at least partly in engagement with either a stationary guide curve (14) and/or a curve (16; 25) in the driving slide (15). The driving slide (15) is provided with a first driving slide part (15') and a second driving slide part (15"), which are pivotally connected to each other. One (15') of the driving slide parts (15', 15"), that is pivotally and slidably connected to said lever (9; 21), is provided with a guide cam (18) engaging a guide curve (19) in the stationary guide rail (6) in order to force said one driving slide part (15') to pivot with respect to the other driving slide part (15") during at least a part of the sliding movement of the driving slide (15).

A flexible sunscreen (4) is provided intended for use in a sunshade assembly of the type comprising a flexible sunscreen (4) having a central part (4') and two opposed inwardly folded longitudinal edges (4") connected to the central part by means of folding lines (13), and two opposed longitudinal guides (6,7) for receiving therein and guiding corresponding ones of the inwardly folded longitudinal edges (4") of the flexible sunscreen (4), which guides are provided with locking members (14) for engaging an outer end (17) of the inwardly folded longitudinal edges for preventing these edges from moving out of the longitudinal guides. The central part (4') of the flexible sunscreen (4) mainly is manufactured from a first material with a first stiffness wherein of the inwardly folded longitudinal edges (4") and of the parts of the central part (4') adjacent the edges (4") at least part is made of a second material with a second higher stiffness.

An open roof construction for a vehicle having an opening (1) in the fixed roof (2), comprises at least one guide rail (7) on a side of the roof opening. A closure element (4) is supported by an operating mechanism and adjustable between a closed position, in which it closes the roof opening, and an open position in which the panel is moved rearwardly above a roof portion behind the roof opening. The operating mechanism comprises a driving slide (8), slidably guided in the guide rail (7), a front support (23) attached to the closure element and guided by the guide rail, a support lever (9) having a front end and a rear end and which is slidably connected to a panel track (15) of the closure element by means of a rear sliding member (14) at the rear end of the support lever, and a curve part (16) on the stationary part including a rear guide track (12) having a vertical component. The support lever (9) is in engagement with said rear guide track (12) by means of a middle sliding member (13). The driving slide (8) is adapted to drive the support lever (9) at least along part of path of movement of the closure element (4) between the open and closed positions. The support lever (9) is constructed such that, in the open position of the closure element (4), the rear sliding member (14) at the rear end of the support lever (9) extends above the fixed roof (2) behind the roof opening (1).

A method of assembling a roof assembly for a vehicle comprises the steps of providing a first frame part (1) having a drive element guide (7), providing a second frame part (8) having a drive element guide (8) and providing a drive element (6) adapted to drive a movable part (4) of the roof assembly and being driven by a drive motor (5). The first and second frame parts (1, 2) are mounted to each other such that the drive element (6) extends from the drive element guide (7) of the first frame part (1) to the drive element guide (8) of the second frame part (2). The drive element (6) is provided as a first drive element portion (6a) and a second drive element portion (6b). The first drive element portion is pre-mounted in the drive element guide (7) of the first frame part (1). The second drive element portion (6b) is pre-mounted in the drive element guide (8) of the second frame part (2). The first and second drive element portions (6a, 6b) are coupled to each other when the first and second frame parts (1, 2) have been mounted to each other.

The rollo assembly (4) comprises a rollo screen (5) and a winding shaft (6). The rollo screen includes a rollo screen edge (9) attached to a stationary member (10) of the open roof construction. The opposite edge is formed by an operating beam (8, 15, 24) movable parallel to the roof opening. The rollo screen has two longitudinal edges (11) which, when the rollo screen is wound off, are brought into engagement with holding members extending longitudinally and each comprising at least a holding groove (17) having a narrow entrance opening (18). The longitudinal edges (11) of the rollo screen (5) each comprise a hooking member (29) insertable into the holding groove (17). The operating beam (8, 15, 24) is provided with displacing means (26) acting on portions (21) of the holding groove (17) determining the narrow entrance opening (18) thereof to enable the hooking member to enter and exit the holding groove (17).
