Abstract

A motor vehicle roof with at least one cover (12) which can be moved above the fixed motor vehicle roof (13) and which can be raised at its rear edge (46), and with a control mechanism for the cover (12) which has a front lifting mechanism and a front displacement mechanism for the front edge (45) of the cover (12) and a rear lifting mechanism and a rear displacement mechanism for the rear edge (46) of the cover (12). The displacement mechanisms have control carriages (18, 19) which are connected to the cover (12) and which are movably guided and can be driven in lateral guide rails (17). The lifting mechanism for the front edge (45) of the cover (12) is integrated into the front control carriage (18) and the front and the rear control carriages (18 and 19) are securely connected on each side of the cover, spaced apart from one another, to a drive cable (21) so as to be driven by the drive cable.
