    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle sunroof comprising an energized sunroof glass and to a vehicle. The energized sunroof glass comprises a rear glass and a front glass being slidable relative to the rear glass, wherein one of the rear glass and the front glass is electrically connected to a main wire harness of the sunroof, and wherein the vehicle sunroof further comprises an intermediate electrical connection structure configured to electrically connect the front glass to the rear glass when the front glass slides relative to the rear glass to a predetermined position. The vehicle sunroof saves the number of wire harnesses, has a simple structure and high integration, and is easy to control.

    Abstract: A method for detecting a pinching situation when moving an adjustable component for closing an opening by means of an electric motor in a vehicle comprises the following steps: providing a trigger threshold for a closing force exerted by the electric motor on the component or a physical variable on which it is based, with which the electric motor is operated, for at least one movement position of the component within a travel path available to it for the movement; moving the component into the movement position; determining a current value of the closing force or of the physical variable on which it is based for the at least one movement position; comparing the current value and the trigger threshold; and outputting a trigger signal which indicates the pinching situation dependent from the result of the comparison.

    Abstract: An arrangement for a moving a cover for a vehicle roof has a guide rail, which extends along a longitudinal direction, a cover support, which is connectable to the cover, a first drive motor, a second drive motor, and a deployment lever, which is pivotable relative to the guide rail. The cover support is displaceable relative to the deployment lever along the longitudinal direction. A drive lever is guided displaceably in the guide rail along the longitudinal direction and is coupled to the cover support in order to displace the cover support along the longitudinal direction. The first drive motor is coupled to the deployment lever in order to drive a pivoting of the deployment lever, and the second drive motor is coupled to the drive lever in order to drive a displacement of the drive lever.
