Abstract

A motor vehicle roof (1) with a front cover (2) a rear edge that is pivotally supported on a slide element (6) which can be moved along a guide (7), and with a rear cover (3) which borders the front cover (2) and which has a rear edge which is pivotally mounted. A high degree of flexibility in the opening possibilities with simultaneously stable guidance of the covers (2, 3) is achieved by the rear cover (3) having guides (11) for guiding the rear slide element (8) of the front cover (2) when the front cover is slid rearward.
