Abstract: A roof module for forming a vehicle roof on a motor vehicle comprises a panel component which at least partially forms a roof skin of the vehicle roof, the roof skin serving as an outer sealing surface, a roof opening system having a lid part configured to selectively open and/or close a roof opening, and at least one sensor module having at least one environment sensor. The sensor module is disposed on the roof module in such a manner that it at least partially protrudes in the direction of an opening center of the roof opening. The lid part comprises an indentation surrounding the at least partially protruding part of the sensor module when the lid part is closed, or the lid part at least partially covers the sensor module when the lid part is closed. A motor vehicle can have such a roof module.

Abstract: A vehicle having at least one roof rail and window, the window connected to the roof rail, and a roof module for forming a vehicle roof of the motor vehicle. The roof module has a frame, connected to or partially forms the one roof rail, a panel component, which at least partially forms a roof skin of the vehicle roof, the roof skin serving as an outer sealing surface of the roof module, and which is connected to the roof module frame, an environment sensor configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals through a panel see-through area in the panel component so as to detect a vehicle environment, and a cleaning feature which has at least one cleaning nozzle and is configured to clean the see-through area. The at least one window and the roof module frame and/or the panel component overlap so that an installation space is formed.

Abstract: A see-through assembly for an environment sensor of a motor vehicle, the see-through assembly having at least one see-through area, a control feature, and a cleaning feature for cleaning the see-through area. The cleaning feature has a membrane spaced apart from an outer surface of the see-through area by a layer, or the see-through area has a shape-changing and/or volume-changing and/or thickness-changing excitation layer at least on its outer surface, the control feature being configured to cause the membrane to move in a predetermined manner relative to the outer surface of the see-through area or to cause the shape-changing and/or volume-changing and/or thickness-changing excitation layer to move in a predetermined manner so that foreign particles located on an outer surface of the membrane can be loosened and/or detached and/or removed.

Abstract: A convertible top linkage which is displaceable between a closed and position, and having a link assembly on either side of a vertical longitudinal center plane of the top, each link assembly having a first and second link, the first link and the second link being pivotable relative to a common base and connected to each other via a coupling link which is hinged to the first link via a fixed joint and to the second link via a mobile joint. The second link may have a guide track for a guiding element of the coupling link, the guide track keeping the mobile joint in position relative to the second link when the two links are being pivoted in a defined angle range, the mobile joint being shifted relative to the second link when the two links are being pivoted outside of the defined angle range.

Abstract: A roof module for a motor vehicle roof having a panel component whose outer surface at least partially forms the roof skin of the vehicle roof and serves as an outer sealing surface of the roof module, at least one environment sensor configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals through a see-through area for detecting a vehicle environment around an optical axis of the environment sensor, and at least one cleaning nozzle configured to clean the see-through area. Viewed in the direction in which the optical axis of the environment sensor points, the at least one cleaning nozzle is disposed in such a manner in an area of the panel component in front of the see-through area that the at least one cleaning nozzle can be adjusted between a retracted position and a deployed position by means of at least one drive kinematics unit.
