A method for producing a vehicle roof for a motor vehicle may have the steps of providing of a first roof module with a frame element and of a second roof module which is frameless with respect to the first roof module. The method may further provide the step of foaming of an edge of the second roof module at a predefined position, and coupling of a rear (in relation to a longitudinal axis (L) of the vehicle roof) section of the frame element of the first roof module to the foamed edge of the second roof module, and configuring of a modular roof as a result.
