Abstract

A motor vehicle roof with a roof opening formed in a fixed roof skin with two transparent successive displaceable covers for closing and at least partially clearing the roof opening, the two covers being raisable at a rear edge into a rear spoiler position. In order to increase the comfort of the passengers, an extendible sunshade unit is supported underneath each cover and can be moved with the respective cover, so that each cover can be at least partially covered by the extendible sunshade unit in the spoiler position.
