Abstract
A vehicle roof apparatus includes an overhead console that is slidably supported with respect to guide rails disposed along opposite sides of the opening in the vehicle roof. In one embodiment, the console is supported on the guide rails by frames, and sunshades are slidably supported in the frames. The sunshades are thus able to move with sliding movement of the overhead console, but are able to slidably move independent of the console. In another embodiment, the overhead console is slidably supported on the guide rails by the sunshades, with the console and the sunshades being movable together as a unit. In a further embodiment, the overhead console is supported on the guide rails by a supporting member, and the sunshades are slidably mounted on the console and the guide rails so that the console and the sunshades can be moved independently of one another.
