The sliding liner is displaceable independently of the rigid sliding lid and is furnished with ventilation openings. The sliding liner is formed rigidly as a plate or frame and is equipped, in the region of its forward edge, with a grip depression, the adaptation of the sliding liner to different surface forms and constructions of the remaining lining of the automobile is facilitated in that, in the region of the forward edge of the sliding liner, a ventilation strip is detachably fixed, on which a grip is formed.
