Abstract
A roof module for forming a motor vehicle roof, the roof module having a panel component whose outer surface at least partially forms the roof skin of the vehicle roof, and an opening in which at least one environment sensor is disposed, the environment sensor being configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals for detecting the vehicle environment. The at least one environment sensor is displaceable between a retracted position and a deployed position. A weather strip is disposed circumferentially at the opening, and the at least one environment sensor may have a cover which is in contact with the weather strip when the at least one environment sensor is in the retracted position to seal the opening, and a contact surface which is in contact with the weather strip when the at least one environment sensor is in the deployed position to seal the opening.
