Abstract
A tilting type sunroof comprises a roof panel supported with a lift link which is pivotally connected with a shoe. An arm of the lift link is engaged with an inclined groove of a stationary guide. The arm slides along the inclined groove to rotate with a linear movement of the shoe. The roof panel is driven to open or close a roof opening by the rotation of the arm. The inclined groove of the stationary guide has a portion of a large inclination and a portion of a small inclination such that a shift amount of the panel with respect to a shift amount of the shoe is large where the panel is substantially opened, while small where the panel is substantially closed.
