Abstract

A ventilator is positioned in the opening in a motor vehicle roof so that it can be moved between a closed position sealing the opening and a number of different oblique opening positions. Levers attached to the roof and connected to a shaft pivotally mounted on the cover affect the pivotal movement of the cover at its rear end. A mechanism is provided to selectively disconnect those levers from the roof to enable the ventilator to be fully removed, with the links attached to the ventilator.
