Abstract
A movable cover for a roof opening in the passenger space of a motor vehicle is provided. The cover includes a rigid outer cover part which is configured so as to be in a flush position with adjacent vehicle body panel structure when the opening is closed, as well as a headlining spaced from the fixed cover part and facing inwardly into the passenger space. In order to assure a reliable, attractive, cooperation of the headlining with the adjacent interior structure of the vehicle passenger space, the cover part and the headlining are connected by way of leaf springs or the like which place a slight pressure on the headlining in a direction away from the cover part so as to press the headlining against upwardly facing fixed vehicle frame parts at the roof opening.
