Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining a position point of a movable element, particularly a window (33) or a roof of a motor vehicle that can be advanced into at least one elastic receptacle (36) by means of a drive, comprising the steps of continually determining a spring stiffness in relation to the moving element (33) in the elastic receptacle (36) and determining a position point upon exceeding a specified spring stiffness threshold value.
