Abstract

A sliding-lifting roof for an automobile of a very low overall height has, in addition to guide links fixed to the side edges of a lid, control links, which are disposed on each side of the lid and each rigidly connect the front sliding element with a guide element, disposed behind the rear sliding element. The sliding elements and the guide element are slidably guided on the same guide rail. A two-armed control lever is disposed on each side of the lid, which lever engages with a central control pin into the control link, engages at its outer end by a guide pin into the guide link and is articulated at its inner end to the rear sliding element. The lid movements are achieved by a sliding drive of the rear sliding element.
