    Abstract: A vehicle roof having a roof opening system having a cover element which is displaceable between a closed position, in which a roof opening is closed, and an open position, in which the roof opening is open; displacement kinematics for displacing the cover element on either side of a vertical longitudinal center roof plane, each displacement kinematics may have a guide rail, a first kinematic unit guided in the guide rail, and a second kinematic unit guided in the guide rail; and a set of drive cables for the two kinematic units, the first kinematic unit may have a first deploying lever which is adjustable between a raised position and a lowered position, and the second kinematic unit may have a second deploying lever. The first kinematic unit has a securing slide which is guided in the guide rail and secures the first deploying lever in its lowered position.

    Abstract: An assembly for a vehicle roof has a deployable cover, a cover inside panel coupled to the cover and a cover frame configured to couple the cover to a roof of a vehicle. The assembly has a cover receptacle unit having a receptacle element with a receptacle opening and an insertion element, the insertion element and receptacle opening designed to match one another. One receptacle element and insertion element in terms of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle roof is coupled to the cover frame on a front cross strut of the latter and the other receptacle element and insertion element is coupled to the cover inside panel, so that the cover by inserting the insertion element into the receptacle opening can be coupled to the cover frame and an operationally ready state of the assembly is able to be configured on the front cross strut of the cover frame.

    Abstract: A vehicle window pane includes a light guide layer and a lighting device which introduces light from a lamp into the light guide layer via a light-incoupling unit arranged on the light guide layer. The lamp is mounted on a support plate and a fastening device keeps the support plate fixed in such a position on the light-incoupling unit in which the lamp is correctly positioned to radiate light into the light-incoupling unit. The fastening device comprises at least one fastening dome which protrudes from the light-incoupling unit and projects into a fastening cutout in the support plate. The substantially deformation-resistant support plate comprises at least one soft region which delimits the fastening cutout. A spreading portion of the fastening dome spreads the fastening cutout by elastically deforming the soft region.

    Abstract: A cover system for a vehicle roof has a deployable and retractable first cover with a predefined stiffness and a fixed second cover with a predefined stiffness. The cover system has a cover frame coupled to the two covers. The cover system has a cross strut with a stiffness of predefined configuration. The cross strut is coupled to the cover frame on opposite sides and is disposed between a rear edge of the first cover and a front edge of the second cover. The cover system has a reinforcement assembly having a U-shaped reinforcement frame coupled to the first cover, the reinforcement frame and the stiffnesses of the two covers and the cross strut configured to be mutually adapted such that a movement of the covers in the vertical direction is permitted within a predefined tolerance range.

    Abstract: An assembly for a vehicle roof having a cover for forming a deployable for the roof, and an inner cover panel which is coupled to the cover. The assembly also has a cover frame configured for coupling the cover to a roof bodywork of the motor vehicle. The assembly also has a cover receiving unit configured for receiving the cover and coupling it to the cover frame; and a tilt mechanism which is coupled firstly to the inner cover panel and secondly to the cover frame, and which is configured for moving the cover between a first retracted position and a second deployed position. The assembly moreover has an electric drive unit coupled directly to the tilt mechanism so that the cover can be electrically moved between the first and second position by the tilt mechanism and the drive unit without the use of the drive cable.
