Abstract
A lid liner for a rigid lid of a sliding-lifting roof for an automobile includes a liner plate having a ventilation opening closed by a ventilation flap. The ventilation flap in its closed position lies flush at its lower with the lower face of the liner plate and possesses at its periphery a downwardly facing bearing surface, opposite to which there is a corresponding, upwardly facing counter-surface around the periphery of the ventilation opening. The two surfaces bear against each other without a gap in the closed position, thereby serving to enhance the appearance of the interior of the vehicle and to suppress the penetration of travel noise through the ventilation when closed by the ventilation flap.
