Abstract

A guide mechanism for a cover of a sliding roof has at least one slotted guide that is coupled to the cover and adapted to be moved between a raised position, an initial position, and a lowered position. To lock the cover against horizontal displacement in the raised position, an extension provided on the slotted guide engages with a positive fit into the profiled rail fixed to the vehicle.
