Abstract
A slidable roof control device for a motor vehicle wherein a roof panel opening of a motor vehicle is covered with a slidable roof which can be opened both in forward and rearward directions of the vehicle body. The control device includes a first forwardly located ON/OFF command mechanism operable from the driver seat for commanding a drive mechanism to open or close the flexible member, a second rearwardly located ON/OFF command mechanism operable from the rear seat for commanding the drive mechanism to open or close the flexible member, and a control mechanism. The control mechanism is responsive to outputs from the first and second ON/OFF command mechanisms for controlling the activation of the drive mechanism and for restricting the closing motion of the rear portion of the slidable roof as a result of commands from the first ON/OFF command mechanism.
