Abstract

In a sliding-lifting roof or top sliding-lifting roof for automobiles, comprising a sliding lid (3) slidably guided on lateral guide rails and pivotal upwards by means of driven rear guide shoes for ventilation, the outward pivoting and inward pivoting take place through specially constructed guide blocks (56), fixed to the sliding lid (3), which cooperate with the rear guide shoes not only by guide slits (57) but also by control levers (63). In this way, in the interests of an improved stability of the lid, the outward pivoting and inward pivoting movements of the sliding lid (3) are divided into two movement phases, which are created, on the one hand, by the engagement, which can be cancelled, of guide pins (54) with the guide slits (57) in the guide blocks and, on the other hand, by the control levers (63), articulated to the rear guide shoes and connected rotatably and displaceably to the guide blocks (56).
