Abstract
A motor vehicle roof has at least two raisable cover elements for selective closing or at least partially exposing a roof opening in a fixed roof surface, with gutters which run laterally lengthwise along the roof opening, a bead-shaped seal which is located transversely in the direction of travel on the front edge of the cover element and which with the roof closed fills and seals the gap between adjacent cover elements, a first primary gutter which is located in front of the bead-shaped seal, and a secondary gutter which is located in front of the primary gutter such that two gutters arranged in a cascade are formed, the end sides of the primary and secondary gutter being located over the gutters which run laterally along the roof opening in order to drain off the water which is located on the cover element with the cover element raised.
