Abstract

A sliding roof for vehicles is movable in a power-driven manner from a closed position by moving a cover in a first moving direction into an open position and by moving a cover in a second moving direction into a lifted position. In order to provide a sliding roof of the type in the case of which the closed position is reached in a precisely reproducible manner, the closed position is always approached only from a single selected moving direction.
