An open roof construction for a vehicle comprises a roof opening (1) in a stationary roof part (2) and a rollo assembly (4) positioned below said roof opening intended for covering the roof opening (1). The rollo assembly (4) comprises a rollo screen (5) and a winding shaft (6) for the rollo screen which is rotatable around a stationary axis of rotation (7), and the rollo screen (5), starting from the winding shaft (6), firstly extends in a first direction (D1), next around a reversal member (8) and finally back in an opposite second direction (D2) and ends at a rollo screen edge (9) which is attached to a stationary member (10) of the open roof construction. The reversal member (8) is movable in parallel to said first and second directions (D1,D2) in correspondence with the amount of rollo screen (5) being wound on or off said winding shaft (6). The rollo screen (5) is provided with light emitting members (14) which are activated through connections provided at the interface between said rollo screen edge (9) and a stationary part (15) of the open roof construction.

A rollo assembly intended for use in an open roof construction for a vehicle, comprises a rotatable winding shaft, a rollo screen of which a rear end can be wound on or off said winding shaft and of which an opposite forward end is provided with an operating beam, and opposite guide channels for in a longitudinal direction guiding opposite side edges of the rollo screen and opposite ends of the operating beam. Each of the guide channels is divided into a removable first guide channel part closest to the winding shaft and a second guide channel part further away from the winding shaft, wherein aligning means are provided for, in an assembled position of the rollo assembly, aligning respective ones of the first and second guide channel parts.

An open roof construction for a vehicle having an opening (1) in the fixed roof (2) comprising at least one guide rail (5) 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 by means of a seal (6) between the closure element (4) and a stationary part (3), and an open position. The operating mechanism comprises a driving slide (10), slidably guided in the guide rail (5), a front support (16) attached to the closure element and guided by the guide rail, a support member (11) which is slidably connected to the closure element, and a curve part (9) on the stationary part including a guide track (8) having a vertical component and extending rearwardly beyond a rear edge of the roof opening (1). The support member (11) is in engagement with the guide track (8), and the driving slide (10) is adapted to drive the support member (11) at least along part of the path of movement of the closure element (4) by means of a connecting element (13). The guide rail (5), driving slide (10), connecting element (13), support member (11) and curve part (9) on the stationary part (3) are positioned outside the seal (6) between the closure element (4) and the stationary part (3). The connecting element (13) is connected to the driving slide (10) and support member (11) in a manner such that it is movable at least partly in substantially vertical direction with respect to the guide rail (5).

A roof assembly for a vehicle comprises a stationary part (3) and at least one rigid panel (4) movably supported by the stationary part through an operating mechanism. The panel is movable between a closed position, in which it closes the opening in the fixed roof, and a rear position, in which it is moved with its rear side upwardly and slid rearwardly. A downwardly extending side cover (8) is connected to side edges of said panel (4) and to the stationary part. The side cover hides the operating mechanism from a side view and has front and rear ends. The side cover is substantially stationary in longitudinal direction with respect to the stationary part and is slidably guided in a guide rail (12) on the panel. The guide rail is adapted to guide the side cover in vertical and lateral directions. The guide rail (12) only starts at a distance (A) from the front end of the cover (8) when the panel (4) is in its closed position. This distance (A) is minimally B min and maximally: A max = L - S - B min wherein: L = Length of side cover (8) S = maximum sliding movement of guide rail (12) of panel (4) B min = Minimum overlap between side cover (8) and guide rail (15) in rear position of panel (4).
