Abstract

A guide rail for a sliding roof system in a motor vehicle includes a first rail element and a second rail element rigidly connected to the first rail element. A guide track extends without interruption over the first and second rail elements. The first and second rail elements include abutment edges that face each other. The abutment edges run in a generally straight line to form an acute angle relative to a longitudinal direction of the guide rail.
