Abstract

Motor vehicle roof with a roof opening made in a fixed roof skin which can be closed or at least partially opened as desired by a cover. The cover can be pushed out into a raised ventilation position, in which its rear edge is located above the fixed roof skin, by being pivoted around an axis lying at or near its front edge and can, then, be slid rearward above the roof skin into a slid-back position. Additionally, the cover can be pivoted around an axis lying at or near its rear edge into a lowered ventilation position in which the cover front edge is lowered below the roof skin.
