Abstract

A window roller blind for motor vehicles having a guide rail arrangement that also forms an interior panel of the vehicle. The interior panel has a gap that forms a guide groove for guiding movement of the window blind between open and closed positions of the vehicle. The guide groove is undercut by being formed with a slot and a larger sized chamber behind interior panel parts. The chamber is defined either partly or completely within a rail fixed to rear sides of the interior panel parts.
