Abstract

A guide arrangement for displaceable parts of motor vehicle roofs with at least one guide along which at least one slide body is movably guided, the guide being a guideway made of aluminum or of an aluminum alloy on which the at least one slide body slides, a surface layer of which has an anodized layer into which at least one lubricant has been incorporated. A process for producing the guide arrangement involves anodizing the guideway of aluminum or of an aluminum alloy and immersing it in a lubricant-containing bath so that the lubricant becomes incorporated into the anodized layer.
