Abstract

An opening and closing mechanism for a vehicle sunroof of the type having a tiltable roof panel hinged to a framed roof opening. A sliding shoe assembly causes movement of a rigid actuating member, which is guided by a cam, to apply an opening or closing force to the roof panel. The mechanism is simple and compact, and is readily concealed between the vehicle roof and the frame surrounding the sunroof opening.
