Abstract

A roof for a motor vehicle, particularly a passenger motor vehicle which possesses an area to be opened intermediate the windshield and a roll-over girder disposed within the area of the rear window; the area to be opened in the roof is subdivided into two sections which are adapted to be displaced telescopically and can be retracted one within the other into the area of the roll-over girder so as to be completely covered by the outer member of the roll-over girder; the roll-over girder together with the outer covering member thereby preferably forms a hollow body.
