Abstract
A sliding cover panel assembly for a motor vehicle roof that includes a cover panel that is slidably guided in tracks between positions opening and closing a roof opening via sliding shoes connected to the cover panel and having an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the cover panel relative to the roof opening when the cover panel is in a position closing the roof opening. In a preferred embodiment, the height adjusting mechanism includes a lever that is mounted to the cover panel so as to be rotatable about an axis intermediate its ends, a locking arrangement associated with the lever securing the lever in any rotational position relative to the cover panel and a link arm having one end swivelably connected to an end of the lever and another end connected to a sliding shoe via a swivelable connection. By rotational adjustment of the lever of the height adjustment mechanism about its rotational axis, the height of the cover panel relative to the sliding shoe can be adjusted.
