Abstract

A guide mechanism for a cover of a sliding/tilting roof has at least one lateral profiled rail, at least one bearing part each provided along the profiled rail for shifting the cover and at least one intermediate part which is connected with the bearing part and at least indirectly mechanically coupled to the cover. The intermediate part, for instance a slotted guide or a guiding part, has an extension which projects into the profiled rail, blocking the intermediate part from moving outside the profiled rail. The connection between the bearing part and the intermediate part is therefore additionally locked.
