Abstract
An openable motor vehicle roof, which is provided with at least one cover (10, 110) which, in the closed position, closes at least part of a roof opening (46), with a carriage (36, 136) which can be moved in the lengthwise direction of the roof in a first roof-mounted guide (38) by a drive, and with a cover-mounted cover carrier (12, 112) which is movably guided in the lengthwise direction of the roof by a first sliding element (16, 116) in a second roof-mounted guide (20) and by a second sliding element (18, 118) which is offset to the rear relative to the first sliding element in the third roof-mounted guide (22). The cover can be raised at its rear edge by displacement of the carriage to the rear and can be pushed to the rear with the rear edge of the cover raised to clear the roof opening. The cover carrier (12, 112) is provided with a first guide path (30, 130) into which the carriage (36, 136) fits by means of a first engagement element (32, 132) and which is made such that, proceeding from the closed position, the displacement of the carriage, and thus of the first engagement element, to the rear causes the raising motion of the rear edge of the cover.
