摘要： In a preferred embodiment, a dual panel vehicle rear closure assembly is actuated by a cable drive assembly. Cables push a rear panel upward from a closed position to a second position above the roof. The cables may then push both panels forward toward a third position to open a rear opening in the roof. A motor pushes the cables through channels to slide the rear panel. Free ends of cables are guided into cable return tubes. Compression assist springs in the tubes are compressed by the cables when the rear panel is in its closed position and provide a counterbalance force to assist in opening the panel. The compression springs may be shorter than the full cable. The shorter springs can be made stronger for applying the balancing forces to the lower portion of the panel travel.

摘要翻译： 在优选实施例中，双面板车辆后盖组件由电缆驱动组件致动。 电缆将后面板从关闭位置向上推到屋顶上方的第二位置。 然后，电缆可以将两个面板向前推向第三位置以打开屋顶中的后开口。 电机通过通道推动电缆滑动后面板。 电缆的自由端被引导到电缆回流管中。 当后板处于关闭位置时，管中的压缩辅助弹簧被电缆压缩，并提供平衡力以帮助打开面板。 压缩弹簧可能比全电缆短。 可以使较短的弹簧变得更强，以将平衡力施加到面板行程的下部。
