Abstract

A ventilator roof for use in motor vehicles with a roof opening made in a front part of a fixed roof skin. The roof opening can be closed by a single cover that can be swung, by pivoting around a pivoting axis at or near its rear edge, into a ventilation position in which the cover front edge is at a distance below the fixed roof surface, while the cover rear edge is kept approximately at the height of the fixed roof skin. Starting from the ventilation position, the cover can be lowered at its rear edge below the fixed roof surface and can then be slid as a whole rearwardly under the roof skin into an open position that at least partially opens the roof opening.
