Abstract

A rigid cover for a sliding and/or outward moving top of a vehicle, with the cover being adapted to shut or close an opening in the top of the vehicle when in a closed position and being movable from the closed position to an open and/or outwardly extended position in which the opening in the top is at least partially open. The rigid cover includes a cover plate made of a translucent material with a frame supporting a bottom of a peripheral edge of the cover plate and an upper frame in contact with the top of a cover plate. The upper and lower frames are rigidly interconnected and the edge of the cover plate is secured between the two frames.
