Abstract

A cable guide for automobile sliding roofs having two lateral guide components (9), which together displaceably guide the guide shoes (7,8) of a sliding panel, and one forward guide component (10), adjoining the two lateral guide components. To achieve a simplified construction which can be manufactured and installed at low cost while simultaneously avoiding butt joints in the region of the cable guide channels which are (19,10) continuous through all three guide components, all three guide components (9,10) have an identical cross-sectional shape and are formed from a single-piece guide frame (11).
