Abstract
A drive system including a guide rail arrangement fixed to a roof module, a drive slide, a front-side lifting arrangement, a rear-side extension mechanism, and a profiled support part. The lifting arrangement and the extension mechanism interact with the profiled support part such that the profiled support part is guided in a force-controlled manner between a closed, ventilating and open positions of the roof part. The coupling device end region remote from the extension mechanism has a coupling slide which is guided in the guide rail arrangement and which comprises a blocking element that can be moved in the vertical direction. A stationary latch recess is provided in the guide rail arrangement, and the drive slide has a receiving area. Depending on the position of the drive slide, the blocking element is moved into the latch recess or into the receiving area in a force-controlled manner by mechanical control contours.
